one of the difficulties with the 0.xxx notation is leaving off the
zero, or watching the decimal point go away under a bit of use.
Sure, I can't disagree with that.
The advantage is that the decimal separator is kinda obvious. It's
actually easier to look at an SMD resistor and read it if it were
using the #R# notation.
Yebbut...moving the unit there? Why not just replace the period with
something more visible? Even 'X' would do. Even '/'. But don't move
the unit...that belongs to the right of the number.
On the other hand, a lot of it is what you're used to.
Yes, mostly.
