Traction is significantly improved on sheet ice compared to non-studded tires, but not much different on snow. Noisy yes. Damage roads yes. Reduced traction on wet or dry, yes.

If you have the luxury of never having to drive on bare ice, then they are near useless to you. Also, some of today's serious snow tires are fantastic.
