Agree generally, but the Phillips type screw is so common that I have accepted that I must deal with it. As a result I mainly use a 12v screwdriver by Bosch with excellent speed control and some incredibly low torque settings. It's also powerful enough to drive a 2" hole saw through 1\2" plywood. The small size is great for tight spaces.
My RV has these screws which accept either Phillips or Robertson which is a decent compromise. Obviously I use Robertson with those.
The Wowstick micro driver is also pretty handy for working on laptops and the Raspberry Pi but it has no torque control so you need to hold it loosly enough to spin in your grip at the desired torque. Needs a manual driver to unstick tight screws first too, but it's a timesaver.
