I’m surprised to see no mention (maybe I missed it?) of hub gears and belt vs chain.
I really enjoy shifting gears while stopped at a traffic light and not worrying about grease or monthly maintenance.
7 gears seem enough to me.

I did not know that and a couple of thousand dollars later I'm never going back. All the gears you want, any time you want them, and a great deal of "it just works". Admittedly it does feel a bit weird to say "time to change the oil in my bicycle" :) Which, BTW, happens more often than changing the chain.
That said, when something does go wrong with the belt/drivetrain/hub it becomes a pain in the arse.
