As opposed to their racing components that you consistently praise? How ironic that the only Campy part I can ever recall you praising is one that is A) really pretty lame B) a touring part and therefore pretty irrelevant in the scheme of things Campagnolo.
Campagnolo is fundamentally a manufacturer of racing components. In my opinion, their unfocused, token efforts at touring, MTB and leisure components are a reflection of their priorities and only add to the companys charm. If their touring derailleur works for you, Im not inclined to argue, only to ask: Does anyone who cares about Campy really care about touring parts? Does anyone who really cares about touring parts really care about Campy?
