What happened to the disappearing act?

We just installed some reverse angle parking in some areas downtown. It's supposed to be safer - no backing out into traffic and no standing in traffic to access your trunk.
So far what seems to be happening is a lot of drivers are crossing traffic to park front-first into the slots instead of reversing into them.
I haven't tried them myself. I've never reversed into any parking spot because I don't feel confident that I won't hit the cars parked next to me. I suppose I should go practice sometime in an empty lot. A friend of mine has been doing all her parking in reverse since she got her new car with a back-up camera. She says it's so much easier than parking front first. My current car is too old to have a camera, maybe I'll do better when I eventually get a new one.
So I'm curious who else has these types of parking spots in their area?
