I've been riding etap for about a year and a half and probably 7 or 8 thousand miles. It was great right out of the box and still is. I do my own bike work and setup was really simplified. Basically just mount the parts, align/adjust according to instructions, get them all paired up (easy) and ride. I can't imagine a simpler shifting logic - right paddle up a gear, left paddle down a gear, both paddles shifts the front.
My main worry when going to electronic shifting was whether or not the front derailleur would work well. I've always thought it was the weak point of shifting with dropped chains, trimming on the fly, etc. When I first rode etap it was a revelation how well the FD worked. I recently learned that the FD knows what rear cog you are on and adjusts its (2 movement) shift action accordingly.
Anyway, as you can probably tell I'm a very satisfied etap user. I have no experience with any other electronic shifting so I won't make comparisons but I do know people that like their di2 and from what I hear it works great as well.
