Scale user here! If anything I get cranky these days if a recipe does not use weights. Measuring out things like a tbsp of butter is just silly, much easier to cut off an amount and weigh it.

I have found measuring cups to be slightly different to each other, plus there is a tendency to lose one (missing a 1/3 cup here). Also there is all that confusion between tablespoon being 15 or 20 ml depending on what recipe you are using. No confusion if a weight is given. It is amazing how many tablespoon measure for sale in Aus that are 15ml, not the Aus standard of 20ml
