IPv6 is a different protocol from IPv4 so it's probably for the best that the addresses are not easily confusable. And hexadecimal addresses are actually saner when dealing with classless addressing. The three-dot notation of IPv4 addresses is really a relict of the past which you'll notice each time you'll deal with anything other than /8 /16 and /24
