From experience as a bike mechanic, Internally routed Cable systems- Pain in the butt to change on some bikes.
But yes, they clean up the look of bikes so much
Yeah, the DI2 electronic shifting isn't new but the internal routing for the brake cables is, at least on commercially available bikes.

I saw a photo/illustration of how the brake cable works and it does look like a huge pain in the ass to work on. I'll try to track it down again.
