> the software implementation is much less trivial
Aren't most geospatial tools just doing simple geometry? And therefore need to work on some sort of projection?
If you can do the math on the spheroidal model, ok you get better results and its easier to intuit like you said, but it's much more complicated math. Can you actually do that today with tools like QGIS and GDAL?
