Imperial is definitely worse, but the number of teaspoons or tablespoons to a cup (48 and 16) is useless information. Do you measure out 50 grams one gram at a time? Do you regularly use the fact that a kilometer is 100,000 cm?

Its pretty useful information when you're converting recipes. Most measuring sets don't come with a 1/8 cup or smaller, so it's pretty helpful in the case that you end up with a small fraction of a cup.
