Coupling Speed

The traditional couplers that come with stock Lionel and MTH products have never bothered me because it's consistent so the appearance is forgivable. 

But I came from conventional locomotives in the late 90s and early 2000s. They didn't creep like modern locomotives that I have now. I keep backing up to grab some cars...and then I pull away and I'm not coupled to the string. Do scale couplers like Kadee couple a lot easier and at slower speeds? Am I going to give up command control couplers when I convert engines? It seems to be more of the modern rolling stock I have with this issue. Maybe they need oiled or broke in? 

Am I just doing it wrong?
