I always wonder why anyone would bother with pictograms for a new language. The Latin alphabet is just a bunch of strokes that can be trivially written in cursive. When you consider all the awful writing systems that exist around the world the Latin alphabet appears to be near perfect. Toki Pona is just adding one entry on the list of languages with awful writing systems.

Chinese is pretty efficient as a language. I think there are things that are more obvious in traditional though. There are advantages and disadvantages to each. But beware self bias because you (I'm assuming) grew up with an alphabet based language.
