Cooking with weight is easier. Metric is shit. The Imperial system for volume is a doubling system, where we have stopped using a couple of the steps. Incredibly intuitive.
Length is the one that gets me. Twelve is divisible by 2, 3, 4, and 6, all super useful. Ten is divisible by 2 and 5. You never need a fifth of something. Supposed, Euro lumber yards sell by the 1.2 meter length for this reason. It's a foot with extra steps.
For some reason this popped into my head: "Welcome to cooking class! For our honey mustard chicken recipe we require 200 cubic centimeters of chicken and 2.365 deciliters of water...."

Dealing with fractions of an ounce is annoying compared to whole grams.

Exactly. I can see Germans being ok with that. You think Mediterraneans give a shit past tenths?
