I guess some people find they look better than the Phillips. The Canadians are fans of square drive and Torx is becoming more common. If you are putting hinges on a box though the slotted are still fine. They do look prettier in cabinet door hinges.
Yeah they look more 'classical' but those I get are made so cheaply now the slot often isn't deep enough to be functional.
I still have loads in steel that were made at the apex of UK manufacturing. Each one is a mini masterpiece. Very hard to find a use for them though.
