I am with James. Drop bars offer variety, with positions ranging from upright to aggressive. For me this is less about getting aero (though there is that). It is about being able to pull on the bars during strong efforts such as climbing, and have multiple hand/body positions. Cycling is repetitive enough without being locked into one position.
For me an upright bar is great on my Towny for towny rides. But the drop bar is a wonderfully versatile thing, no less so because it is common.
