I find quite the opposite to be true. I much prefer riding clipless, and in tight single track, prefer to be fastened on so that I can pedal through the obstacles.
Different strokes for different folks . . . .
I am using Time MTB pedals and Sidi MTB shoes on my tourer, and love them. The MTB shoe allows for easier walking, and better traction when you have to dismount off the road. On my roadbike, I run Bebops and love the float. I will probably go back to Speedplays when they wear out . . . Bebops are no longer being made. :-(
