I have seen many computer programmers express their distaste in traditional math notations. I have an opposite opinion, probably because I majored in physics as an undergraduate. Whenever I read/write source codes with heavy math formulas, I feel lost in a sea of verbosity. While the unambiguity renders the trees clearer, the verbosity blinds me from the forest. I always have to step back and write in the traditional form to understand.
Because people with a math background, rather than those with a CS background, dominate the field of math, the notation is unlikely to change ever.
