Cockpit discussion. Comfy ripper or over-thinker?

Your cockpit on your bike (bars, stem, stack height, grips, lever position etc.) is often something that we amateurs overlook or consider not as important as other features and components on a bike.

Do you even care about your cockpit? Do you scrutinize the rise, sweep, stack height, and roll (forward/back) on the bars you run? Are you driven crazy if your levers and shifter (yes that's singular) are a millimeter too far inside, outside, or tilted improperly? Is a long stem on your enduro bike a no-no? Does running a bell make you a kook or is it a good way to avoid killing hikers? Can you even ride your bike if you don't have proper grips??

Lately, I personally have really been paying attention to the little things about my cockpit and wanted to pick the brains of other vital members.

Let me know what you guys think!
