phillips heads are clearly superior in every way to slotted heads

so why does anything use slotted these days? 
all slotted heads do is piss me off because i always drop them and they're a pain in tight places to get the screwdriver properly positioned.

I want your life where the complaint threshold is on what type of screw driver I am forced to use.

I just wish they'd pick one and be done with it. I don't care which.

I replaced an entire section (about 40'-50') of wooden privacy fence after the last storm came through. Used Torx screws and I don't think I had a single screw head get stripped. I buy nothing else now if I can help it.

The problem with Phillips is there are so many different sizes
If you use the wrong size screwdriver/bit, it is easy to strip it even though it will still work if you don't over tighten
