I have a RapidRise on my AHH, with newish (2010) Shimano indexed/friction barcons. Absolutely love them. On my '73 Raleigh Competition I currently have shifters on the downtube, but will shortly return to '70's vintage Shimano barcons (the ones with the inner spring mechanism).
While I still make mistakes with the RapidRise, they are minor and don't bother me (decades riding pre-RapidRise made some habits). But I really don't expect moving back and forth to be much of a problem. (I make many more mistakes with the twist-shifter on my Bike Friday.)
