They are a nuisance, but I still like them more than the modern equivalent. New bikes have tabs at the base of the fork tips so that you practically have to unscrew your quick release all the way before you can take off your wheel. Of course, my favorite system is without any legal advice in which case you can just turn your lever and remove your wheel.
