I read mathematics on screens but when it comes to working out exercises etc I still prefer to do it with pen and paper, so I prefer succinct notation.



I'm not saying that traditional notation should be abandoned altogether. Pen and paper are still useful for some things even in the age of computers. Nonetheless, computers exist, and you might get more leverage out of them if you don't restrict yourself to using a notation designed for pen and paper.
