A bit of equal time for the venerable floor-mount dimmer switch:

Multi-function "joystick" controls on the column were originally devised to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act to accommodate paraplegics unable to operate foot switches. Nowadays with the predominance of automatic transmissions and column-mounted dimmer switches, a modern motorist's left foot has absolutely nothing to do! With joystick-mounted controls however, it can be hard to find the dimmer switch while simultaneously signaling for a turn - the control moves! Every hot rod I build always has a floor-mount dimmer.
