I’m pretty sure most modern mathematics research takes place on pencil and paper or chalkboard. It’s too tedious to typeset everything in the research phase. It’s also way harder to draw little diagrams or new invented notations on the computer.

If mathematics was as young as programming, it wouldn't use any fancy symbols and make everything ASCII compatible. Though that wouldn't solve diagrams...
