I mean it, I'm reaching for the tear gas....

Can't really give a lot of input on clipless-tried 'em, just couldn't "adjust" to clipping in and out. Guess I've ridden platforms too long to change (creature of habit here!). But, I have found that what some call "freestyle" pedals (platforms with traction pins) seem to work better for me than just plain road platforms. The pins hold my shoe securely in place, and I at least feel like more of my effort goes into the pedal stroke.
