Most of the resistance to it, I believe, lies in the erroneous idea that one would have to constantly convert between the two systems.
It takes a generation to smooth out. My daughters grew up in the metric system so it's easy for them. Those of us who were raised in the old system spent a lot of time mentally converting.
"Man, it's hot today...it's 35."
"No, really how hot is it? (Mentally...let's see roughly double and add 30) Holy crap, it's 100 degrees. You're right...it is hot!"
It's tough being an old fart.
