As someone that has used both systems, I have to say metric is much easier to use and more precise.
Typical daily usage includes cooking, ex "if I need 60g of sugar for 2l of water, how much sugar for half a liter?" Is really easy (60/4=15g), versus "if I need 2oz for 1 quart of water, how much sugar for 8floz?" Is annoying and frankly rather ridiculous: first you have to know that 1qrt=32floz (metric is of course always multiples of 10), then you get a result ½ ounce, that you can't convert to anything else and you're now dealing with fractions...
