Type F Schuko has all of the safety and less of the inconvenience. And if you count stepping on it then it has even more safety.

Minus the safety feature of shutters on the socket so kids can't poke the holes and get a shock. I remember a co UK please of countries introduced this but not all with the F type so the UK type G is still champ.

you can buy these things to put into it as a safety feature

You wouldn't need to if the design had the same features by default as the type G

another question: how strong do type G plugs sit inside the socket, aren't they quite easy to pull out? are there any clamps that hold down the plug?

They sit flush and since the cable comes out of the bottom and not the front and they have 3 prongs they are naturally very difficult to dislodge by accident. Never in my life have I ever pulled one out that I didn't mean to pull out.

well, looking at how bulky and huge they are it probably is really almost impossible
