Honestly I'm the opposite way. for liquids, volumetric measurement is pretty consistent.

However dry goods like flour are hard because so many little things affect the density of the scoop. Vs if I just put it on the scale and scoop it into a bowl/cup on a tared scale, I can get it most of the way there and then just spoon in/out little bits to get to the right mass.

For cooking I find it doesn't really matter but with baking where those ratios are so strict, mass measurements for dry goods is just so much more repeatable.
