Yeah they hold better but they leave obnoxious linear scars on the pads of your fingers when they get hot!
I learned lights in the theater, where you can't just clip stuff because it might fall off and hurt someone. There you tend to melt more gels. Plus those ellipsoids are so focused they somtimes melt steel gobos. It's nice to have gel frames that fit your lights, especially for fresnels. Sometimes I use PAR64s instead of scoops or the softbox (since they're just hanging around) and it's handy to be able to just drop the gel in and know it's not going to fall off or burn.
