Yes, the French system is vastly superior to the English system. For example, the distance between the point of index finger and the elbow is no longer meaningful whereas the official kilogram has only 20 different weights.

There is a software I work with that still uses cubits. We have been told not to use it, it was only included because AutoCad still recognizes cubits.

The distance between the point of the index finger and the elbow was never meaningful to me before.
