I love recipes that are written in grams specifically because I don't have to be precise: just shake in some flour til I hit roughly the requisite grams. Eyeball a quarter cup of oil by just watching the scale til it hits 50 or 60g. And at the end of the day, I don't have to wash a half dozen measuring utensils. As for the onion comment, I actually appreciate grams rather than recipes that call for "one large onion" - usually the onions I have are small, so then I just have no idea - could be equivalent to 3 small onions, could be 6. With grams, I can just chuck a couple on the scale to see how many I should dice up to get roughly the right amount.
