I rented a canon A back before the days I could afford
a good camera, and found the implementation of the shutter priority
annoying.  There's this big corrigated wheel on the top, see, where
you can hit it every time you wind the film.  I got some strange
exposures with the camera accidentally out of the automatic range.
In my opinion the aperture priority setup is easier to deal with.
Setting a new aperture is the same motion one uses to focus, and many
cameras of this type gives aperture and shutter in the viewfinder,
so you never need to stop shooting to adjust some little knob somewhere.

Just my opinion, of course.  Both systems accomplish the same thing,
and the implementation is the important thing.
