Its a lot easier and idiomatic to write. I would try it first before knocking it off.

Surely both of these characterizations depend on the person? I can believe that integral_t^oo is idiomatic if that's what you're used to, and maybe it's easier to pick up from scratch, but, for someone long used to TeX, it just makes me wonder what other unpleasant surprises someone else will have decided are actually pleasant.
