As a European who grew up using only metric I like inches for crafting. It's a good scale for the things I craft and I prefer fractions over decimals when doing quick math or measurements.

But that doesn't mean metric shouldn't be the standard.

I think we should all switch to base twelve and then measure everything in dozenal metric. All problems solved.
