Simpler notation might make it easier to implement algorithms without fully understanding them. Not sure how much good is going to come from that.

But if you fully understand the problem, notation is not an issue.

I disagree. Try using Roman numerals for example. Or doing linear programming or any sort of optimisation without using matrix notation.
