base-10 time only makes sense because we use a base-10 number system. the Babylonians didn't use a base-10 number system so the current time system was more intuitive. however, the French already tried this a couple hundred years ago. it didn't stick around.
personally, I'd prefer we drop all base-10 conventions (units, numbers, etc) and switch to base-12 and base-60 for everything (dozenal or duodecimal)
