But as to wanting to revert to the stacks of rests (which go back in time to the inventor of rests with specific values, Franco of Cologne, in the 13th century), I was never so happy as when modern publications dropped that old-fashioned business in orchestral music and adopted the simple multimeasure rest convention. In either case, I'll end up counting measures, so just tell me how many measures to count!
I recall being very grateful for breve and long rests when reading the bass part of the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony in a poor light. They were much more distinguishable than "3" and "5" in the font the publisher had used.
