What about parallel bar dips DKD, do you do them?
As for kickbacks, I think if you're already huge and can move huge poundages they have their place to bring up lagging triceps for competition but that wouldn't apply to most.
I didn't know they got hate. I use them occasionally, they burn like mad! I guess they do look a little girly perhaps thats why...

School me.
Answers such as 'coz they're gay' can be inserted into a convenient orifice rather than this thread.
I have at times had elbow soreness from skullcrushers, and sometimes with pushdowns there's a temptation to cheat, form gets compromised and other muscles get worked. With kickbacks its pretty hard to work anything other than triceps. Are they an effective exercise choice for a workout program?
You found a way to seamlessly insert a hot ass into this thread. Ausbb salutes you.
Yep, dips are one of my favourite exercises, especially since I can't bench, but I focus on chest with them so always like to do additional tricep work. I've been doing pushdowns in recent times but tried kickbacks the other night.

Are the bars angled for different grip widths?
This is flawed thinking.
It's not possible to isolate the pecs, triceps are doing the bulk of the work here regardless of what angle your torso's at.
But note the position of your hand on the dip bar, similar position is required when doing pushdown, or any torso movement for that matter.
I find dips put a enormous amount of pressure on my shoulders, I tend to avoid them. I like them but it takes a few weeks to get into them with no pain
Do you keep your elbows in?
I find them easier on shoulders then bench
