Well I spent most of a weekend in what was basically a long frock for a freeform. With loose underwear it is a lot more comfortable than trousers particularly in warm temperatures. If it wasn't for the social taboo against men in skirts I reckon they would be quite popular.
I'd agree it isn't something to be physically active in which is where a knee length skirt would be better.
One thing I've noticed with clothing is that a lot is designed to hinder. It seems mostly to be a status thing, to show you aren't doing physical work. Which then gets carried over to people who are and they have to work round the hinderance.
