Certainly the radian is best for some purposes. But the degree? Is there
some inherent feature of the circle th

There's nothing at all wrong with the radian - but there is a reason
calculators let you switch between degrees and radians. Each is best
for particular purposes, just as interval time and time-of-day are
best for different uses. See als

Oh yes. But the radian is not a very practical unit. I prefer to use
the circle: 1 cr = 2 _pi rad. Similarly, for solid angle, the sphere:
