For some recipes I think cups make more sense. The ones where volume is more significant than weight, for example; do you really care how much salad ingredients weigh? Seeing cups and tablespoons and teaspoons in a recipe gives a much better visual idea of relative proportions, which is handy when I'm often not cooking for the same number of people as the recipe is made for.
Baking, though, is where precision is usually more important and cups are just a pain to see in the recipe.
But then it's not the first time ive had negative feelings about something thats not a big deal.

Yep, I've got the necessary devices. In most cases, I find it such a faff compared to using scales though. Measuring out X amount of cups of flour, getting flour everywhere while your taking the cup out of the bag, flattening off the tops etc < just tipping flour in to bowl until it's X grams.
Agree it's not a big deal though. But then it's not the first time ive had negative feelings about something thats not a big deal.
