I have eschewed electric starters all my life mostly because I tend to be an ornery maverick who refuses to be like everybody else. I also tend to build my own planes instead of just buying an ARF or kit. I just gotta do it the hard way but once I learned the tricks, it stopped being "the hard way".

Even in high school, I rode motorcycles instead of driving cars and owned just about anything but a Honda. What was wrong with Hondas?
1: Everybody had one
2: They had electric starters

Now if I can only figure out a way to put a crank on my car..........
