The size of the hole you cut, is key.
We had visitors from the UK stay with us last Fall and they would cut these massive gaping holes in the bag. Of course it will spill.
Milk jugs are huge and ridiculous. Cartons are ok, but inferior to the bag when the bag is 'operated' properly. If you can't operate a milk bag, you're likely someone who should be eating at restaurants and staying out of the kitchen all together (I'm kidding).
My main argument for milk bags, is that if you are a slob, like me, and you like to drink things straight out of the container, the milk bag saves you from getting a milk mustache.
Also, I drink a <removed> of milk and putting two 4L jugs or four 2L cartons in my fridge takes up a lot more real estate than the equivalent in bags.
