how are they a pain in the arse?
low speed turns - like everytime you back out the driveway, everytime you pull into a servo, everytime you park, everytime you do a U-turn, everytime you go to the shops...

steering effort is increased and not just at low speeds - it loads up in long sweepers.

handling is in no way compromised it is gained dramatically in a street car, try going quick up a steep tight hairpin on a mountain road with an open diff, there is no way you could keep traction down.
Your not describing the handling characteristics of the car - just its traction. And we're talking about street use here - you shouldn't be trying to exit steep tight hairpins at maximum possible velocity! Handling is very compromised for street use with locked diffs - understeer is unavoidable with street tyres. And wet weather handling is very compromised with locked diffs. I've seen idiots spin out at walking pace with lockers...
