Slot head screws are ballet.
      There is no way to fake it.

Round slot heads are the worst (most fragile)

I grew up on slot head screws, because even though other styles were 
available, being a poor kid, it was catch as catch can..................
  And slot head screws were pennies a box of 100 back then.

The concept of cardboard boxes of 100 screws is deeply ingrained in me. 
Deep as a dusty scratchy hardware store floor.   I resent any other 
packaging.
Even as late as the late 70's they were standard fare for me. Because I 
was still poor.
The entitled were using a lot of hex head screws then.

  Driving a big slot head screw with a big Yankee spring loaded?
  That is Baryshnikov ballet.
     I have seen guys as fast as lighting and secure as a brick with them.

  I was never that good.
  But a flat head driver or a flat head driver in a brace, or a small 
ratchet driver for small screws (no spring). Or a flat head bit in any 
kind of powered drill.........  Those I can still handle
