The aiming problem is solved within 1-2 times of using it. You get used to where to put your butt, even if you can't move the nozzle. Aerosolizing isn't a big deal because your butt is on the seat. It's nothing like the flush. Finally, the TP that you use to dry is still quite a bit less than what you use to wipe. And it's so much easier on the skin down there - I'm currently staying at a place without a bidet, and it definitely adds to the discomfort around the day. It's something you don't know is an irritant until it returns.

Pretty much this. The lack of bidet being common makes me not want to travel anymore, thats how big a benefit a bidet is. No matter how much tp you use your butt will have a tiny bit of poop smear on it until you shower and the difference in comfort is gigantic once you experience the difference (side note the best bidets are the cheap ones that dont heat and blast you at up to full pressure. The super expensive japanese one both dont have enough pressure for all situations and have features that pamper without helping.

... and you have a choice on what and how to aim, a pivot if you will, if you use a health faucet. If you allow me quote myself ... I find health faucets http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet_shower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet_shower quite effective, except that one time it went terribly wrong. These are essentially telephone showers installed next to the toilet. You switch them on using a valve/trigger and then manually direct the fire. Simple, cheap, no fuss. This little guy, however, turned out to be a closet fire hose. It pretty much went from 0 to 1000 gallons per sec in an instant and just wouldn't let up. The valve was stuck. The extension hose was twisting and coiling around like crazy with the pressure released. The shower head was going full blast in my hand, initially directed at my rear, it was continuously pushing my hand away from anything that I was trying to point it to. It give me a visceral understanding of how jet engines work. Working out a sequence of operations in my head to get out of such a situation while caught in a compromised and inflexible position, with only one hand free, was quite a challenge. I am not quite sure if I should be thankful that it wasnt autonomously powered and directed. My first Japanese toilet experience happened @ Google (I was interning there at that time). When the water touched the derriere, it made me flinch and jump with surprise, as I wasnt quite sure what to expect, this was several years ago and Japanese toilets were still an unfamiliar object to me. And it really tickles the shit out of you ! (no pun intended) There are ways to choose between a laminar and degrees of non-laminar, to full-on turbulent flow (all those controls must be for something), I would expect the former to be somewhat less flinch inducing.
