Nice try captn but you're going to have to do better than this. :W As I previously stated all the trailers we've owned previously has been non-slide but our current one does have a slide so we've been on both sides of the fence. Your comment that "the people who seem to fear slide problems the most are the people who chose not to get slides" overgeneralizes - the trailers we owned without a slide were chosen not because we "feared" slide problems but because at the time we were doing a lot of long distance camping and the last thing I wanted to deal with was the always present possibility of slide failure, whether leakage or mechanism issues. It was a rational decision based on common sense, not "fear". We now have a trailer with a slide and certainly one of the mitigating reasons we chose it is because we no longer long distance travel for weeks at a time as we used to - slide issues close to home are a far different matter than 1000 miles from home. Sorry captn, you're demoted to first mate. :W
It's pretty simple. You didn't get a slide previously because you were afraid it may not operate when you were far from home. Had slides operated 100 percent of the time for everyone you would had gotten one. Correct? If so, then you did, indeed, fear the slide.
If you got a non-slide because you liked the layout better or wanted a lighter trailer, well then that would had been different. But you stated you didn't want slide issues. Seems pretty cut and dry.
