I like it better for cooking, especially for sous vide. One degree C is too wide of a range, but 0.1C is too precise. One degree F is just right.

Conversely, grams are way better than ounces for measuring things. My coffee needs 700ml of water. I can get that precisely by measuring 700g on a scale.

Basically, measuring system purity is not a virtue. Flexibility is.
