Roundabouts are generally pretty shit for pedestrians and cyclists, yeah. Also, they are way more of a pain in the ass to drive in than a regular intersection. I'm yet to see a single example of a roundabout making an intersection easier to maneuver.
EDIT: I don't actually agree with this sentiment. I copy and pasted this from something someone said on donoteat01's Discord server. I just wanted to start a struggle session.
I like them since they serve the same purpose as traffic lights but don't require policing in the same way.
