There are a couple I have in mind. Like many techies, I am a huge fan of RSS for content distribution and XMPP for federated communication.

The really niche one I like is S-expressions as a data format and configuration in place of json, yaml, toml, etc.

I am a big fan of Plaintext formats, although I wish markdown had a few more features like tables.

I use °C and I feel the need to use the places after the decimal. Also, I feel nothing wrong about it.

Also, I use °F for body temperature measurement and need to use the places after the decimal and feel fine with it.

Also, when using °C for body temperature, I still require the same number of decimal places as I require for °F.

I am not saying that °F is not useful, but I am invalidating your argument.
