Personally, goes from pic related to clipless is day and night. These shit pedals have no grip and have such a small pedalling surface.
However, large pinned MTB flats actively grip your shoes and are as good as clipless, for me, 85% of the time. I use pinned flats for almost all my bikes, and would only switch to clipless if my riding got actually serious. Otherwise the ability to wear any shoes I want, being able to throw my feet around, occasionally throwing my bike on a forest trail, all is done better on pinned flats.
