    For certain applications like a light switch plate, a slotted is easier in that one can use a coin to tighten the screw. That's about all I can think of.

    Also, slotted screws are harder to strip but unless you're using a poor quality screw just take your time and make sure you're set on the screw..

    Yeah.
    It's a devious plot. They like to borrow our ideas. The slotted screw will be the downfall of the Chinese empire. Right after the Canadian empire, but that wasn't on purpose.
