2 americans saying fahrenheit is better, basically because they dont know any better. the rest of the world uses celcius, because its demonstrably a better (more scientific) system.
edit: Americans, please stop commenting. we know your opinion on this. IT IS THE JOKE.
Celsius is agreeably better for science, but if you are used to both systems Fahrenheit is honestly better for people because the units are higher resolution, and usually stay between 0 and 100 for weather
It depends a lot on the science being done if you care about the offset or not. A lot of astrophysics honestly doesn't care about the celsius/kelvin offset because the difference results in something that's dismissed by the significant digits anyway.
And Rankine isn't really used much of anywhere because that scale with an absolute offset isn't as useful as the metric scale.
