I miss the 4:3 aspect ratio. It is mathematically way more efficient than anything that's common now. Unlike the aspect ratios that replaced it, you can literally do this one in your head:
3^2 = 9
4^2 = 16
9+16 = 25
5^2 is also 25, as expected.
So a rectangle with sides 3 and 4 has a diagonal of 5. If you try this with 16:9, 16:10, or probably any of the others (I'm assuming there are some I've never seen, whether they were ever common or not), you will not get a whole number.
