My main two cons with roundabouts are that one, when you have those residential streets where basically every intersection is a roundabout so you get many of them in a quick sequence when you’re going straight all that centripetal force is annoying to deal with.
And the second thing is when you have very large roundabouts, there’s always a bit of chaos involved between shifting lanes from the innermost lane towards the outermost lane because I’ve noticed people don’t enter the roundabout on the right lane, so there’s always a little bit of chaos during the crossover.

Are you perhaps speeding through them, instead of properly slowing down? > there’s always a bit of chaos involved between shifting lanes from the innermost lane towards the outermost lane because I’ve noticed people don’t enter the roundabout on the right lane, so there’s always a little bit of chaos during the crossover. Multi-lane roundabouts are a completely different beast, and shouldn't be used until both the engineers and the population have gotten plenty of experience with regular one-lane roundabouts. Two-lane ones are just about doable with hard lane separation, but anything more is asking for trouble.
