Been using them for close to 7 years and not had them slip or fray the strap. I also find them easy to use - in fact they are my go to for non-WB hammocks. Just tilt the buckle back and it slides up and down the strap. The new iteration of buckle has a cord you can pull on to assist with this. I never had to put a knot in the strap - that can lead to the issues of the buckle not staying straight and causing issues with the strap. Finally you can remove the straps from the hammock by pulling them out of the buckles. Easy to re-thread when needed.
Beetles buckles do offer similar ease of use (from what I can tell, never owned them) and I’m always tempted by the lighter Spider straps that can used with them. So I may be joining you on the Beetle buckle thing.
