I set my lights on slow blink or solid depending on the situation. It's pretty rare I run them on strobe. I agree it can be very hard on the eyes if they are powerful LEDs and while I want a driver to see me I also want them to be able to see where they are driving.
For the same reason I prefer to use focused front lights on solid that have a vertical cut off so the max light is down on the road and not in oncoming driver/cyclist/walker eyes. That's all that's legal in Germany so it's a good place to get one.
