Honestly my biggest issue with ipv6, aside from not understanding it, which I don't, at all, I've realized while setting up my own opnsense firewall, is that they decided on FUVKING COLONS. AND LETTERS. Okay, cool, hexadecimal exists, that's swell, but typing them is such a fucking pain in the ass.

There's no way to put your fingers on a keyboard to make it feel natural.

While I agree that it is godawful to type and worse to read, let alone remember, you wouldn’t want these addresses in full decimal notation…

Nothing the mechanical keyboard community can't solve.
