For me,it comes as an advantage when I'm riding in heavy traffic because it's easier to make an emergency stop and dismount without being clipped in. When I'm riding in front of the pedals, I don't want to be clipped in and can put adaquete pressure on the pedals without clipping in.
As for kicking off, I sometimes clip one foot in on the downstroke, but I don't have a foot clipped in before the kickoff. Maybe I'm just weird.
