we do have math typesetting you know... With a standard programming language for typesetting handled by all major browsers. Just head over to Mathoverflow and see it in action

Also, when writing code it's not unusual (at least among LISP and Haskell programmers) to have the editor replace a word for its corresponding symbol, the most famous example of which is (lambda -> λ) because some people find it easier to parse e.g. in emacs[0]. You can easily imagine doing that for other expressions, like (forall, there-exists, ...etc).
All in all I think it's a matter of preference which is in turn related to each individual's experiences.
