Can we talk about switching from metal to glass mixing bowls?

I used to only use metal bowls for everything. Thought they were indestructible and easy to clean. But last month I grabbed a glass bowl from my mom's house on a whim, and I noticed my butter and sugar creamed way better because I could see if it was actually fluffy. Plus microwaving butter right in the bowl changed my whole process. Has anyone else noticed a big difference switching bowl materials for certain recipes?

Nah, metal stays cold longer for doughs and doesn't shatter when you drop it.

lol I mean yeah glass is great until you drop it and now you're cleaning up a cursed jigsaw puzzle of bowl fragments and butter. Sure metal doesn't shatter but have you ever tried to microwave a metal bowl? I'll take my chances with the glass.
