Tom, I am not sure how long they have been around but I have been using one for about 6 years.
To the OP: If the SPD shoes make things harder, consider a set of platform pedals. I use these:

They can be paired with these if you want foot retention:

The upside is that they can be used with almost any shoe and easily removed or installed with no tools, in about 10 minutes. As stated above, simplifying the process makes commuting easier and more enjoyable.
