Well my last few flights I have sat in the aisle, mainly becuase I have had a lot of CRJ flights were I can strech my legs in the aisle since there is no first class. In short has anyone else switch from Window to Aisle or Aisle to Window after years of sitting the the same seat.
Yes, I'm an all Aisle guy now. When I first started flying for work, I was a window man. But I always felt bad having to get up on long flights and disturb/wake the person next to me if I had to use the bathroom. Or reaching over them for my food/drink etc.

Now I'm an aisle guy.. I can get up as much as I want, and not worry about it. If I want 10 drinks and then have to use the bathroom a bunch, well I'm not cheesing anyone off with small bladder syndrome.

If I'm on a domestic flight and get upgraded, and placed at the Window, that's cool.. I appreciate the free big seat.
