Gauss also famously complained that sin² x should mean sin sin x and not (sin x)²

I agree with his complaint whole-heartedly.

Not his greatest work

i actually like this notation, i hate having to specify sin(θ)+y with parens but sin θ + y is ambiguous

The middle one could easily be confused for 'square root of theta'.

This notation is just more confusing. Signa, Gamma and Tau are used a lot in physics and this could bring more confusion. Moreover sin() and cos() are written as function, like f(x) or f(x, y, z). They are simply more familiar
-
They aren't always written with the parentheses though
