Everyone has their preferences.
It’s kewl that you seem to really like dragonriding. Go you.
Me… well it’s okay and nice to have something right away instead of having to wait a year, and I will certainly use it in leu of nothing. But when regular flight comes back, I will be happily “no-clip cheatcoding” to my heart’s content. 
I’ll probably be using dragon riding and normal flight both depending on circumstance. They each have their advantages.
