I absolutely do like no-gi better, but I also think that the transition from gi to no-gi is much much easier than the transition from no-gi to gi. I've started dabbling in the GI (especially since even though all the privates I've had with Robson have been no-gi, almost all of the group classes I've attended have been GI). The GI is definitely more useful to me as a lighter guy (I'm 5'11 but will be competing at 140, which means I get smashed a lot in no-gi, especially by wrestlers), and it promotes technique over strength better than no-gi, imo.
I understand that I'll have to pick up the GI as well, and I plan on doing it, probably sooner rather than later.
