I also like the fact that with the wipers off at highway speed, you don't have the winds whip the wipers around. I used to hate that before I did this.
Going 65mph the wind would catch the wiper halfway in swing and it would move faster or chatter or all sorts of aggravation.
It could be all in my head, but I feel like ice does not form and stick as hard to the windshield with RainX on also.
I've started using it on my side windows recently to test that theory, but it has only iced once in the past 2 weeks here on windows to tell. Otherwise only snow.
I can say so far both cleared well, but I don't want to say one way or the other quite yet.
I treat all of my windows including the 2 sideview mirrors.

my Touring has rain sensing and it is useless, it basically works the same as intermittent with some adjustability to the sensitivity. I never wanted rain sensing so it doesn't bother me that it doesn't work as intended, I prefer intermittent and that is basically what I got from it.
The rain sensing feature is useless, and it doesn't work as well as intermittent. It comes on when there is one drop of rain on the windshield. The sensitivity adjustment doesn't seem to do much for me. I wish I could replace it with an intermittent wiper.
