It sounds awesome to me if it's perfected and batteries can get smaller with longer charge.
No. More. Cables. Less stuff and the moving parts of the shifters, etc. Great idea to me, even if it's still got issues. If I was rich I'd definitely try a build out with these.
Would be more stuff and moving parts. Now you've got little electric motors/servos involved, batteries, etc. I'd be pretty surprised if it saves any weight.
Less moving parts at the switch, or none. Switch could be all electronic/digital/wireless. No more cables. Also without the cables requiring an external input mechanical connection near the derailleur, there's better opportunity to "seal" the inside electromechanical components from the outside world.
I've never seen cables as a problem. They aren't great looking, but most good manufacturers route them through the frame now anyways.
