Torx is king, but I would happily use only Phillips if we as humans got rid of slotted screws/screwdrivers. Every single time I’m forced to use one it annoys me. You can minimize it slipping out by using the right size, but who the hell wants to use or carry more than one of these? And it still doesn’t eliminate the problems, whether you use it for high or low torque applications…
The only good thing about slot screws is that you can use any reasonable flat thing as an emergency screwdriver. And the screwdrivers can serve as a general purpose prying tool I guess. They suck at their official job.

I am constantly camming out cheap Phillips head screws and it drives me crazy
