I see you totally ignored the content of my post that you quoted. How about quitting the bitching are directly address my point - apart from a small amount of extra weight and the setting up, what is there against a triple? I've stated the plusses - higher/lower gears and a better gear spread. Now you state the minuses and maybe we'll get somewhere.
When I made my original post I bore in mind the actual OP's requirements and situation - i.e. effectively a "new" cyclist living in a town with very steep hills. You seem to have ignored this and merely trotted out your personal preference (prejudice).
BTW, bear in mind we're in the beginners section.
