I do a lot of devops and haven't typed an IP address in a while. I do a lot of comparisons, however, and comparing 128 bit numbers is slightly more difficult than 32 bit numbers. Overall, I stopped remembering IP address a long time ago. I wouldn't recognize "jrock.us" if you showed it to me. I kind of recognize my current external IPv4 address, but it could be off by a lot before I'd notice.
I think, many years ago, I typed a lot of IP addresses, but don't anymore. I am personally fully-ready for IPv6, but understand that the world is not. (For example, my website was IPv6-accessible for many years, but changed providers and now it's not. I was a little sad about this, but it turns out nobody cares, so I didn't spend any time on it. Unfortunate, but someday it will work again, I'm sure.)
