I have used this set for a decade or more.  I first thought the handles were superfluous, but from the start really love them.  They make emptying the bowl so much more comfortable.  The shape is perfect to get out a middle bowl from the nested set, tilt the bowl for whisking and not losing the contents while still wide enough to access the contents.  The edges are smooth but not folded over so cleaning is simple - no crevices to catch food.  And the lip is flared enough to prevent drips.  The only thing I would ask is for an additional smaller bowl about 0.75qt.  I've purchased another brand to fill this need, but miss all the features of the All-Clad one.
