I’ve been in the AT beta since some time in February and it’s basically been set and forget for me for nearly all of that time. There were definitely some issues and bugs I reported, but in the past month or so many of those have been eliminated. The only glaring one for me now is outside workouts on Wahoo. And I don’t even think about things at all. Just do my workouts, substitute outdoor rides for some workouts, etc. It’s been an overall good experience for me (link to a longer post I made at the bottom of the post).
So in short, if you’re not having issues like that PL bug after ramp tests (I just did a ramp and didn’t run into this), then it really does take all the thinking out of it. And I’m right there with you. That convenience is the biggest draw to the platform for me.
