I used to commute on a bike like this, and especially in city/urban environments where tall buildings create annoying winds, it was such a nice change to have a full range of places to put my hands and shift my weight.
I'd hate to see someone drop bike commuting because they don't like it, cause they stop finding it comfortable, when they might not know about other options.
If you're 'riding upright for comfort', riding on the flats or even the horns will be just about the same, PLUS other options to switch it up and keep you from fatiguing.
