Default Why are side sticks unpopular in sailplanes

Again, I've never flown a side stick, though if you think about it, a
simple Cessna with a yoke is flown with the left hand, ala side stick.

The parallelogram stick in the Mosquito feels better than a floor
gimballed center stick. It's very smooth operating and the throw is
small enough that you can fly with wrist motion. Very nice.

How does a side stick compare to a parallelogram stick (e.g. Glasflugel)?
