If everything is taken care of for you like that it slowly takes all the pleasure / skill out of riding a bike. Bit like driving an automatic car.
It may seem perverse, but I kind of like that if I fuck up on a climb and end up having to dump gears or change down to the little ring the front that I suffer crappy gear changes under pressure as a result - makes you a better rider in the long run.
