Remember your old classic Sturmey Archer AW three speed gearbox? The darned things were designed a hundred years ago, last revised in the 1930s. They are simple, robust and dependable - AW just plain Always Work. Unlike a derailleur system, the moving bits are all enclosed in an oil bath away from dirt, water, salt and the vicissitudes of an outboard dangling derailleur's proclivity to bending twisting and just plain degradation. Derailleur trouble may also be described as 'death by normal commuting' The Germans went one better. Of all the more-than-three-speed internally geared hub systems available, SRAM [formerly SACHS] in Schweinfurt, Germany, developed a more robust and yet simple seven speed gearbox, the Super Seven now known as "S-7"
