And far more efficient than chemical propulsion.
But exactly because of that, they don't have yeet. Long periods of low thrust are great for long duration missions, like satellites, stations and interplanetary probes, awful for a TLI burn.
Also, is a bit more complicated to use in kerbal, because the manoeuvring node expects strong instantaneous impulse.
