My point is that everyone saying "Celsius is so easy, look at how logical it is!" are missing the point that you still have to memorize a bunch of temperatures. Nobody in their right mind is going to say "Well, it's 20% of the way between water freezing and boiling, so I'll wear long sleeves but no jacket today".

Both celsius and fahrenheit are completely arbitrary, just use whichever one everyone around you is using and you'll be alright. You'll internalise the scale eventually.
It's the one part of the metric system that isn't innately superior to imperial/customary
