I also prefer the old-fashion shift gate, but electronic shifters do offer some advantages (the use of gear buttons like Acura or Aston is NOT) such as being able to relocate to a simple steering column stalk (such as MB) or automatically shifting into park by shutting off the engine, etc. I wonder also if electronic shifter prevents accidental shifts into park before the car is fully stopped.
