How many of you have something with a belt drive? What do you think of it? Any regrets? (sh.itjust.works)

Been considering a belt driven commuter and wanted to see what you all thought. Thanks!

My vehicle's AC compressor, water pump and power steering are all belt-driven and I have no complaints.

In all seriousness though - eFatbike with a Pinion gearbox and belt-drive would be the dream.

I tried a bike with a pinion gearbox last summer. It was the coolest thing. They’re not available in Canada :(
