I like to refer to them as Freedom units and Communist units (in jest, obviously). I will say, though, that Fahrenheit feels like a more precise scale for measuring temperature even if the units are goofy.

Absolutely no one
I don't care how many football fields worth of sun we'll get today.
Fahrenheit is better for weather, and I'll fight anyone about it.
We use Celsius in the lab because it makes math easier, it's great.
But Fahrenheit is basically a 0-100 scale of how hot it is outside and that makes perfect sense for describing outside conditions relative to human sensory perception.
Fahrenheit is better for weather
You're just used to it. The rest of the world have 0 problems using it for weather.

Fahrenheit is better. Fight me
Ha! You can't just say "fight me" and then disappear! What are your arguments?
The range for livable temperatures follows a more reasonable scale. Hot is really high numbers. Cold is low. The exact temperature is more precise because the range is larger.
Celsius is fine for scientists but for the regular person Fahrenheit has a better range.
Also I'm biased.
