It's better for human usage for temperature control of HVAC/Heating/Cooling units, but only in that instance.
Granted that's a very common use case.

I still prefer using Celsius for figuring out if my Electronics are overheating since if you're anywhere near 100C, your CPU/GPU will have a very bad time.

The (1-100)C scale is superior for electronics temperature stability and easier to understand.

There are some folks that believe Celsius/Metric is superior to all, along with trying to force the last hold-out of measurement systems to convert.

It's better for us in the US, you folks have already converted and prefer to stay converted.

The concept of using multiple scales of the same dimension just because it's a different object (but still of comparable size) that gets measured eludes me anyways.

"This panel is 1.83 meter in height"
"This person is 6 ft in height"

"This panel is 1.90 meter in height"
"The person is 6.23 ft (or 6' 2.8'')"

That seems like an unnecessary pain in the ass, and the metric system has the base 10 for unit conversion as an advantage in most situations.

Of course the base 10 argument is completly void for Celsius, so there is no difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius at all.

And the accuracy simply depends on what you are doing. My AC is managed in 0.5C steps, my baking oven in 10C (i think. I actually would have to check it again).

Weather is in simple full C, but it doesn't matter that much, because every gust of wind, and any kind of humidity, changes the perception of temperature much more than +1C air temperature could do.
