Clipless has its pros and cons. I had clipless on my old mountain bike (that I also used to commute) but I'm not interested in putting them on my current commuter/everything bike at the moment. As someone has mentioned lately, they change the trajectory of a fall (which for me, is just a mental block that I'm not interested in overcoming at the moment) and the added power they would give me isn't worth the inconvenience of trying to either trackstand or unclip at every light I encounter on my ride to work. I might reconsider if I start doing longer distance rides out of the city or using my bike to go bike camping.

I'm not a fan of the half-and-half pedals. But again - just me.

My younger sister switched to clipless on her road bike because she found a pair of bike shoes and fell in love with them...and needed the pedals to match. So you'll find a reason to switch when you're ready, or you don't ever have to switch if you don't want.
