I switched to clipless this weekend and thus far I'm in love. I can see wanting to use clips and straps for someone who skids alot and is worried about rolling their ankle and popping out of their pedal, but otherwise for actual riding clipless is wildly superior.

That said, alot of people find skidding with clipless to be no problem at all, and with practice I would think you can do it without ever popping out unintentionally.
