I like assisted openers, and I don’t like any pocketknife that isn’t an A/O.
A/O’s are the easiest to open of any type of knife that I have owned and liked.
The main reason that I like them is because they are so easy to open.
(I have one Kershaw automatic knife, but I don’t like it.)
I don’t have any trouble closing A/O knives.
I have owned scores of them, and none of them have ever failed.
Different people like different things, and trying to change someone’s mind on something that they clearly like is a complete waste of time.
I have made my opinion on pocketknives crystal clear many times on BLF for those that haven’t been paying attention.
Even if one doesn’t know what type of knives I like, in recent years I have gone out of my way not to ask for knife recommendations (like I did today) because I know best what knives I like.
It’s pretty counterproduction to offer knife recommendations to someone that doesn’t straight-up ask for them.
I even created a thread about my favorite knives that I update every time I get a new knife that I really like. 
But, yeah, keep on trying to convince me to get a Bel Air or Bel Air XL.
See how far that gets you.

Those are some very popular online LLMs, and they generally summarize what’s on the internet.

I tend to get high-quality low-priced assisted-openers.
I try to avoid garbage knives, of which there are many of every category of knife.
