I find them really quite convenient. I have used lots of connectors, including round ampex, jones cinch, molex, trailer, spade/round lugs, fahenstock clips, and plenty in between over the past nearly 40 years, and these are the best I have found for lvdc applications over a fairly wide current range. They are easily installed, easily reconfigured, and don't have gender issues leading to a profusion of adapter cables (or worse, a lack of a profusion just when you need one).

They are not appropriate for some important applications, and are not optimal (but ok) for others. Still, all around, if you want commonality, they are a good bet for it.

I've never understood the fascination with these connectors.
