No, fuck these. Especially when you have to actually click and drag them. Even more especially when it isn't obvious whether it is on or off. Check boxes inherently lack the issue of colour blind difficulties too.

I suspect some gui frameworks work this way. I've seen it in a few places and when it happens, every single other thing I can't stand also happens.
