It currently works just like an indexed shifter and a traditional derailleur, in that there is one micro adjustment (the barrel adjustment) once you get the general alignment set up. This has worked fine for a while now. I do think a per cog micro adjustment would be a super nice feature that would be one more reason to pay this much for a derailleur since it would open up compatibility with non-SRAM cassettes, but it may also introduce new problems as well. Every time alignment changes at all, you would probably have to spend time redoing all of your gears instead of a simple one step adjustment. And SRAM would probably get a lot more complaints about how overcomplicated their setup is. Customers would be making a mess of their drivetrains, blaming SRAM and demanding replacements/refunds. There is a lot of benifit to keeping it simple. I'm sure their engineers have their reasons for not giving us this seemingly simple feature. I think it would be cool as maybe an advanced setting in a hidden menu or something, but I don't see it as the crisis some of these posts suggest. I mean, what would you do 50 miles from home with a bent mechanical derailleur? I'd bend it back the best I could, so I can at least pedal out. I've done that once or twice and lived to tell the tale.
