There's a natural conservatism with technology that's so obviously safety-critical. Pilots just don't like the idea of fly-by-wire, no matter how safe you tell them it is. If something works well enough, they say, don't mess with it.

Of course, those same pilots then drive home in their ABS-equipped cars on cruise-control...
