Clipless are not only easier to get into, they're easier to get out of.
For toeclips to be used they way they were intended, they have to be tight enough you can't pull your foot out without loosening the strap, and should be combined with a cleated shoe. It's a lot harder to reach down and undoe the strap than it is to rotate your ankle out.
