The way I see it, anything with a square bit can be done by with a hand held screw driver, and anything with a torx bit should probably be torqued to a certain amount and/or be used with a screw gun. Square/Robertson bits are used super often in things like electrical panels and electronics. They are becoming pretty common for cabinetry also. I doubt you'll see a torx screw in cabinets.
Thank you for replying. Robertson screws are not common in Scandinavia - at least I've never seen one IRL. I use torx for everything, never had an issue with hand screwing them, which is why I asked. But I'm not an expert or professional, just a home owner that tries to DIY as much as I can.
Not having to deal with stripped screws is the biggest plus for me, I hate having to remove a Philips or flathead screw that someone else put in some hard-to-reach location that can't be turned without breaking. (Which happens surprisingly often, actually.)
Lol absolutely, stripped screws are the worst
