I grew up with a Franklin that had Jalousie windows and didn't mind them. My current TC has sliders and I like them much better most of the times because the view is so open. However, on a few occasions when it is raining, the jalousie would be nice to leave cracked. But I make do by leaving the pass through window open and running the fan to pull air in through the pass through. The air outflow keeps the rain at bay if you open the vent just enough.
We have been looking at upgrading over the last couple of years, and every time we sit at a dinette that has a Jalousie window, one of my first comments to my wife is "I can change out the window for a slider".
