> "linear algebra with a uselessly nonstandard notation"

Let me chime in that as a physicist (who does use the "pseudo" stuff occasionally) I very much share this opinion.

The notation may be really cool and compact, but I just do not see the benefit - for example, d*F = j and dF = 0 is compact enough for me.

It is all fine if people use this language to learn linear algebra or differential geometry. And maybe it has a use for numerics or computer science. But I am quite sure that the geometric algebra formalism will not be widely adopted in physics any time soon. Sorry.
