I don't find working with imperial units to be convenient at all. I have a board that is 7 foot 2 and 7/16ths inch long. I need to cut 1 foot 3 and 3/4ths inches off. What is my overall board length? I could do the math in my head, but if I'm not extremely careful I'll come up with the wrong answer, and it isn't so easy to perform those mental calculations unless you do them all the time.
Working with decimal is way easier.
