Fahrenheit: 0=cold, 50=mild, 100=hot
Celsius: 0=moderately cold, 50=dangerously hot, 100=dead
It makes no difference to me if the boiling point of water is 100°C or 212°F, if I see it boiling the pasta goes in.
In a scientific context Celsius and metric in general are superior without a doubt. But to live my life Fahrenheit works just fine.
The only important property of a temperature scale is that it exists and is agreed upon for science. Farhenhiet and Celsius do that job equally as well.
