I switched to predominantly center feeds decades ago. Now I can't seem to hit my targets as easily with a side feed marker. They just feel wrong to me. My brain and muscle memory seem to be wired for center feeds now. I've spent a long time getting used to ambidextrous shooting too. That, and I really don't like it when my setup is unbalanced.

I started 30 years ago this year, I stopped trying to aim down the top of a marker 29 years ago 😆. Using the top of a body as a sight has never truly mattered to.me, most people default off the barrel tip as a reference point.
With a semi gun I worry less about that than I do with a pump, but im still not trying for a cheekweld in a mask..
I also dont understand how anyone can like having to deal with a feed elbow and a hopper sticking that far up. I never liked it when it was a powerfeed mag, and definitely not on most other guns.Comment

To add to that, I remember a few low end blowbacks that had powerfeeds that did not align the paint at a 90-degree angle. They couldnt even get the gimmick right. lolAGD did a lot of good but the powerfeed almost undoes that only because SO MANY good blowbacks of the era have stupid powerfeeds instead of decent right feeds
But it definetly helped the early mags. They just had too much blowby up the feed, leading to chops. The early AGD powerfeeds seem to help that a little, but then the main aggrivation was the original automag PF was left-feed only, sticking the hopper in your face. If you wanted it right feed, you had to shell out for the more expensive Minimag.
Other short-lived gimmicks- On the VM68, you could get a turbo-hopper, which took some of that blowby and used it to agigate the hopper, pneumatically.
Montnele use a delayed-blowback system to reduce blowby, but high-speed video showed that it only worked when no paint was in the breech. hahaComment
