The city I grew up in had no roundabouts back then. Today it does have some, some were even made and removed again since. People there hate roundabouts.
The city I live nearby now has so many roundabouts that I can drive for over an hour without seeing a traffic light. It always had those, people are used to using them.
Guess what works better and barely has any traffic issues at all.
Depends on the roundabout, actually. With a turbo roundabout[0] the lanes form a spiral rather than a circle, so you are automatically forced to the outside and doing multiple turns is physically impossible.
