Yes- death to Philips and slotted screw heads. Torx, square/Robertson, or (internal or external) hex heads are all so much better.
Take for example my front license plate, the flat head screws enabled a random while I was at work to remove the plate from the car, without any specialized screwdriver.
So in some instances flat heads may prove to be useful. Philips however has often led to the screws I need out getting stripped. Torx all the way.
