I guess it mostly depends on how you grew up. Coming from the metric system I prefer it a lot because it's much more consistent and easier to convert between units (e.g. mg->g->kg). Even after moving to California I'm still confused by the variety of different units. For example if you look at recipes there are cups, ounces, pounds, teaspoons and none of them is easy to convert.
In Switzerland I used to fly glider planes. Unlike motored airplanes glider planes use the metric system. So heights are measured in meters and speed in km/h. It helps a lot to calculate how far or fast the plane will go compared to feet and miles.
