I'll take a FD even a triple if I can have a comfortable good 14 pound bike for well under $2k. Brazed steel or carbon does not matter at all to me. $3k-$10k road bikes are garbage.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Derailleurs in general are (almost literally) the weakest link in bicycle design and have been for 120 years. Fixies are popular for a reason.
I like tbe IGH and belt drive on my Priority Folder
Bought a racing Peugeot from the 90s to use it for my daily comutes. First thing I did was remove the front derailleur... lighter, easier bike to ride.
