Nah, it's a lose-lose situation. Flatheads suck, and philips are crappy too. Just use hex, torx, or Robertson for everything and the world would be a better place.
I rarely see flatheads anyway. No one uses them on new stuff, and old stuff has often had them replaced with something better. I kinda feel like this is a solution looking for a problem.
I use flatheads mostly on the covers of wall plates, and then you need Philips once you get the face off.
Oh shit I forgot about those dumb things.
