It's funny how some folks' "best of both worlds" is other folks' "worst of both worlds." I have ridden magnetic pedals and found them vaguer than either option - flats or clip-ins.
That said, I love that magnetic pedals exist as I've talked to plenty of riders for whom clip-in pedals do not work and who want a more attached relationship with their bike than they get from flat pedals.
I stopped riding clip-in pedals a couple of years ago, after a couple of decades predominantly clipped, and haven't looked back. It took a solid year of use (this is all pre-injury) to get decent at using them but now, for me, they're more fun.
