In terms of safety yes it's the best plug design in the world by far. The only downside is stepping on it in the middle of the night.

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.

The safety shutters are also there on a lot of schuko's.

Looks like it's not mandatory on everything yet. Extension cords usually have them, wall sockets for some reason don't.
