And then there are us engineers. I don't care much either way whether Maxwell's equations are ∇F = J or some other form, as long as it makes the problem easier to solve.

If I were in the GA Marketing Committee I'd publish a paper with suitably hand-picked worked examples where the vector approach is long and tedious, and GA version is short and sweet.

I like this idea but I get the sinking feeling GA proponents don't really solve problems with GA. Like how Haskell advocates don't write programs and modular synth enthusiasts don't write music.

Application of the Method of Moments to solve full wave formulation of Maxwell's equations. To derive the EFIE using maxwell's equations is a massive pain. With geometric algebra, all you need is ∇F = J and the MoM becomes a mechanical process.
