I have Shimano double sided M324 pedals on my primary commuter, pinned platforms on my backup, toe clips on my road bike, and various plain pedals on the rest.
I think you're both right..................all options have advantages and disadvantages so I cover all the bases.
I still have a pair of Look pedals I purchased in the early 80s, but haven't used them in 30 years as road clipless are the only pedals I find totally unacceptable.
