Why are side sticks unpopular in sailplanes

wrote: I also flew a gimbaled side-stick for 8 years in a Millennium ultralight sailplane. It was so smooth, natural and comfortable I looked for a sailplane with the same arrangement. But alas, all I could find were clunky setups with sliding sticks. No wonder side sticks get a bad rap in our little world. The center stick is OK, side stick is better, more natural. Just a question: How do you fly with a side stick if you need your right hand to, say, take a leak? Or change a setting on the panel? Did you train yourself to do all these things with the left hand?
