I much prefer Metric because it seems more logical based on how people are taught in general and decimal is easier than fractions. Growing up in Canada it was like half and half, which made it harder to learn, plus most parents were used to Imperial. Temperature in Celsius in terms of 0 being freezing, little to no movement, little to no growth, and even death, makes way too much sense, and minus temps make it even easier to understand the hazard of the cold. Tool sizes are also so much easier using millimeters instead of inches. Once you've learned one or the other it's no big deal, but trying to change to the other after time makes it more difficult. I found learning the Metric stuff I didn't know was easier than learning Imperial. Waiting on USB to either accept Metric or create their own universal measuring standards. DD/MM/YY.
