Base 16 is a good one. You can count on your fingers if you use the first pad and each crease. I am still tickled that four digits of binary is one digit of hex. You can just plop them down on top of each other and convert four at a time. Compared with the hell of going between binary and dec it’s a joy. I must say though that there’s a certain awe and glory in bouncing a dec number up and down by 10x by moving the decimal. Bases aren’t “good” or “bad” you the user are either good or bad at dealing with them. If you think a base is bad you’re probably not working hard enough to use it well. Or trolling. Maybe you’re just trolling.
