If I had my way, the entire world of musicians would pick a day where everyone switched to C-scores and instruments at the same time, like when the UK went metric literally overnight. :-P

That which would solve a problem for pianists and composers, not so much for singers, would pose a new big problem for sax, clarinet etc. instrumentalists who had to learn how to play (read for) every size again from scratch. As long as they have scores especially prepared for them, their lifes are now happier as they are.

The (appropriate?) compromise (as used quite regularly, I think) is: Conductor's score in concert pitch, instrumental parts with respective transposition (which is fortunately very easy to achieve with LilyPond - once you have overcome the confusion ...)
