As a daily user of Mathematica, I find TraditionalForm to be a robust and elegant input format. Agreed, there are some issues in the use of TraditionalForm for input. However, since TraditionalForm is available as a Mathematica input form (and has been since 1996), then any problems with the implementation of TraditionalForm are bugs (I have reported many) that should be fixed in successive releases of Mathematica. > I still field questions from > an In and Out column of The Mathematica Journal 8(1) (published in 2001) > that were typeset using TraditionalForm.

Exactly the point -- there was a problem with the formatting of the code, not with TraditionalForm itself. And, if there is a problem, then you are just acknowledging a Mathematica bug that should be fixed.
