What do you like or dislike about swim fins?

... I do fly drills and fly kicking with and without fins. But I always swim fly with fins. ... So, Fort, you DO do some practice fly drills and fly kicking without the fins. And that is my point. If you never did at least some practice without the fins, you would not have a feel for the kick in the race. I didn't say you couldn't use them, I just said you eventually have to practice in the manner you race, in order to understand the feel of the water/race.
