And then later (if I want to send a PDF or printout to a colleague who does not have Mathematica) convert the input cells to TraditionalForm. I find it inconvenient to enter TraditionalForm directly. Additionally, I have more confidence in what Mathematica will do when I enter things in StandardForm than TraditionalForm. But I find it easier to understand output in TraditionalForm particularly things such as matrices.
