I doubt it, I have only used clips and cleats a handful of times on anything other then an exercise bike in the past decade. I have absolutely zero motivation to change that since clipless do everything clips and cleats do plus more. And do it better too.
How often do you ride with cleats? How long did it take you to be able to get your your cleat into a pedal, everything situated and then tightened(really ****ing tight) while going down a 20%grade(my driveway) or a 12%(my street)?
