A lot of us do. Engineers and scientists all use metric. Anyone who uses tools hate the they need to have two different sets of wrenches or whatever else. I personally find it annoying when I hear something in Celsius or metric and need to do a mental conversion (which a lot of us can't do). I think we should switch over to metric, but a lot of us don't like the change. And as much as I wouldn't be that opposed to switching to Celsius, I don't see much value in that specific metric
