I have one that came on my commuter and I may as well take it off, because the bike tips over whenever I put it on the stand. It can't have any load in the panniers and it can't be parked on a slope, or over it goes.

A kickstand would probably actually work better on a road bike (no panniers to throw the balance off, and drop bars with plenty of steering lock so the bars don't turn 180 degrees whenever you park on a slope). But (beyond being uncool) what's the point? You lean it up against something, your saddle and brake hood get a little dirty, you wash your bike. If you're in a position where you need to lock it to a signpost, well, usually a kickstand doesn't help with that anyhow; just carry a bit of scrap fabric to protect your frame.
