Any detail to that opinion making it fact? I mean I suppose you could argue that having not much of a drop negates the point in having a drop at all but still...
Pete4Eyes-
I wasn't talking of the fact they are compact per se but the fact lots of them are not really well designed, as @Sumo said they are often misunderstood, and an example is the one posted above by @Dammit, where I challenge the owner to sprint on the drops out of the saddle without having their hands sliding down, loosing grip or excessively twisting their wrists in a unnatural position.

Guys at Cyclefit in Covent Garden told me lots of compact bars are actually useless, the biggest example are Ergonovas.
