The kWh is a silly unit. Joule (J) is the one true unit of energy.
Also, common time units suck as much as inches, pounds, feet and whatever nonsense units you Americans still use. Just use seconds with the appropriate SI prefix instead.
Cubic meters and tonnes suck too. Just use kl and Mg instead.
I disagree on kWh.
It’s convenient if hour is the only time unit you need. However, many situations require different time units, and that’s when you run into conversion problems.
