Well I've read the basic theory now... and i must say i can see the point in this...
The basic calculations do become a little harder to do, i think... but it is so much more straightforward and logical... i mean, it's pretty logical that a 45degree angle has a spread of 1/2 instead of 45... 45 only makes sense in a 60digit number system (i don't know the word but i hope you know what i mean)
So alltogether I think this is very neat. It doesn't revolutionize anything though... cause you still have this weird 'spread' thing to deal with, instead of angles, and while the spread thing can be calculated pretty straightforward, it's still a fairly confusing thing before you get used to it... so to say this will make trigonometry a lot easier would be a lie...
