Nothing depending on your perspective. Mine is a U.S. perspective and a disposition against. They slow things down and require more mental and physical capabilities than the U.S. approach. That’s not accidental or because U.S. people are dumber, it’s just a cultural difference between the countries in terms of driver expectations. I’ve proposed a rationale elsewhere.

Make the roundabout larger then, and you can keep just about the same speed. How can a roundabout take more mental and physical capabilities and slow you down less, than a stoplight on the interstate? That's very backwards, and not sure what roundabouts you've experienced, if that's the case.
