Hit 500 shutters last month and it changed my mind about mechanical shutters

I always swore by electronic shutters for mirrorless cameras. Thought they were quieter and had less wear and tear. But after repairing that 500th mechanical unit at the shop in downtown Portland, I started noticing how often the electronic ones just fail with no warning. Now I tell people to get a camera with a mechanical option even if they never use it. Has anyone else seen a pattern with certain brands' electronic shutters dying faster than expected?

Respectfully disagree. Electronic shutters have been rock solid for me.
