If it makes you feel any better I am also pretty much against all of these things too. I've tried HIP bikes and don't find the marginal benefits to be broadly applicable enough to justify two extra pulleys that testers are always trying to assure you they don't really notice. Of course they notice them. I have in-frame storage and am totally indifferent to it. The system that came with my bike is pretty amazing and yet I don't care.
