To my eyes this is way harder to read than traditional notation, which really isn't hard to learn and works well for most music (and non-12TET music). It's hard to see if a note is on a line or just above/under it.

Same. Maybe it's my bias from having played piano for going on 25 years, but this notation is just irritating to look at, and has way more ambiguity than the standard system to my eyes. It also seems like it's less compact, which is a _huge_ problem. If you ever look at older ürtexts and the like, music notation is traditionally very dense to save paper and engraving costs. I don't think anything that makes music less dense is going to fly in the industry.

Same here. The different notes look too similar.
