Yes the UK plug design is the best I've seen. Mandatory 3rd pin to open the shutters, insulated prongs until they are well disconnected, and very solid fit. More often than not I see plugs half falling out of US sockets, with live and exposed terminals. Thankfully it is only 110v, but still a fire hazard
The mains issue I have with them is just how big they are.
Given how many things I have plugged in on or around my desk, I’d need power strips the size of a large dog to plug them all in UK style. Whereas US they all fit in the size of a very small cat.
