For commercial flights I prefer fixed wing. I'd rather pay the fuel tax than have another moving part that can fail while I'm in it.

Well if it is more efficient I can see the appeal but it would require stronger wings and systems to move them that would add more weight so it would take more fuel to go, the trick is to balance them.
