Tau or Pi

I'm interested to know what others think. I have completely disregarded pi for radians and pretty much all calculations, the only problem I find is when using calculators I have to work my way around pi.

This has been brought up before and sadly with little interest...

Somethings are actually wrong. If you started to use tau instead of pi, there wouldn't be any conversion for angles expressed in radians because pi is just a number multiplying things and radians is already a unit in regards to the radiusof the circle. When we write angles in terms of pi, for example 3/4*pi, what we are essentially doing is being to lazy to write 2,356... and doing so we would be commiting an imprecision by aproximation because we tend not to write numbers until infinity. A full circle is 2*pi radians = 6,283....radians if you write in terms of tau it would be 1*tau= 6,283.... which is exactly the same number.
Would it be a simpler to use tau? I supouse a tidbit.
What is my take on this? Well I just don't give a damn!

It just makes me happy that the wikipedia article about Pi has a "criticism" section...
