It's also a heck of a lot more fun than a 172 or any other tricycle gear aircraft you would otherwise train in.

Oh man I loved flying the Citabria. Didn't do it until I was working on my instructor rating, had I known how much fun tail dragging was I would have done it more to build up my commercial hours while working towards that license. Even in the relatively gutless Citabria it was just a joy to go flying. Oh and the fact that the Citabria was acrobatic didn't hurt either, fun to do loops and barrel rolls.
