Maple provides the D notation as an option (I don't know about Mathematica). Plus, they provide a way to convert to standard notation. Sage doesn't. In addition, this notation doesn't work properly with the rest of Sage (which includes Maxima). +1 for changing things. Sage is currently unusable for me with this notation.
