Arguably Phillips bits are also worthless. I hate Phillips screws.

Phillips are substantially better than flatheads though. And they are decent enough for low torque operations, just suck in higher torque applications, as they strip out like mad. Allen is much better for high torque, but a little more fiddly when inserting and removing bits which, combined with there not being a standard go-to size Allen (though a couple sizes seem to be getting pretty common), makes Phillips a bit better when you have lots of screws to assemble.
