As another one who uses both and finds them equally as good in most cases, I'd also have to say that in the majority of cases I think metric measurements are simpler to use.
However I still flick the DRO onto inches when I'm using the edge finder then switch back to mm after it's zero-ed, it just seems easier that way but perhaps it's a personal quirk.
Whilst I wouldn't try hard to persuade anyone to change from the system they understand well and are comfortable with, it's worth asking the dyed-in-the-wool sceptics on both sides to try and understand the 'other' system better before dismissing it out of hand as useless.
