As a breaststroker I think fly and *** are equally brutal and I dislike swimming either of them in workout pretty much the same. If even a 50 of *** doesn't get you out of breath then you're doing it wrong. I haven't swum a 200 fly in ages and ages but I can tell you I'd much, MUCH rather swim a 400 IM than a 200 ***. The 2-*** is an awful, awful event. It's a shame too since it's my best one.
I agree that all the *** haters are just jealous that *** keeps them from having a fast IM. I've heard a million times "I don't swim IM because I can't swim ***" but how many times have you heard "I don't swim IM because I can't swim fly". That's right.
If we're talking reststroke then we should be talking about back. How many times do you see someone finish a hard set or race and immediately start breasting? The first thing they do is flip over on their back and float along.
