I ride clipless the majority of the time. On MTBs it lets me jump stuff better as I lack the skills to bunny-hop well w/out them. On road bike rides (longer, sustained pedaling) I have IT band issues that will set me knee a'screamin' if I don't have it in just the right spot. Clipless pedals keep my foot/let positioned correctly which reduces that problem. They help me ride bikes comfortably, without pain, and for longer periods of time. Win, win, win!
For the most-part, I tend to not tell bike-riding strangers they should use them. Too busy letting them know my bike isn't an antique.
