There’s been plenty of discussion here and here but much of my point is that Unitful’s design is overly complicated for many use cases, compared to the straightforward approach here. That first thread mentions a few packages that tackle Unitful’s verbosity, but it’s still there underneath. And fixing the display verbosity doesn’t give you clear, simple types.
