I would say yes but obviously SPD users (scoble) will argue that they're fine and whenever you unclip it's "user error" or whatever.
I went ATAC-SPD-ATAC-SPDSL-KEO-ATAC
ATACs have definitely been the best for riding and skidding about the city, I originally ditched them because they unclipped but I later found out this was because the sole of my shoes stopped me getting properly into the pedal.
I much prefer ATACs because they feel smoother than spuds and rarely unclip when I don't mean them to; I'd say it's worth giving them a try because only you will be able to tell if they work nicely for you.
