Not when the roundabouts are placed within the bounds of a 4 way stop. Not sure if those are called roundabouts, but I don’t like them.

We've had them for about a decade, and I'm getting used to them. Going straight, they're faster than a 4-way stop and more fair than a 2-way.

The 270-degree left turns are awkward though

Exactly. Talk about defeating the purpose of a traffic circle.
Just to be clear, you're talking about ones where they've tried to shrink a one-lane-circle down too far?
