I don't get the big gaps between gears thing either. But then most of my 1X riding is cross racing, cross training, mtb racing or mtb training or trail riding, so maybe it doesn't matter much there.
@Timmy2wheels the 1x thing is a cross over from MTB, where the chainsuck from a double or triple can happily destroy a frame.
