I actually like the switched sockets, the plugs can be left in which makes it all look neater than leads and plugs lying on the floor, a quick look at them and you can see they're all switched off, and the idea of a 'mechanical switch' seems more reliable than whatever sort of switching some modern appliances may have, a reading light I have for example just need touching anywhere on it to switch on, I've had PIR exterior security lights switch on for no apparent reason in the middle of the day, so switched sockets seem safer to me.
