Like many others, I already had plenty of experience with the old style cleats so switching over was not such a big deal. I had already done my cleat falls back in the day. Clipless are just so much easier to get out of that falling doesn't seem like a great probability (I will probably regret typing that, no doubt).

I do confess though that sometimes I still have trouble getting INTO them rather than getting out. That can look pretty stupid as well.
