I read an article recently arguing that base 12 would be better than
10 because it has more factors.

Definitely. If we'd been born with 12 digits, we'd have learned to count
in base 12, and we'd have invented two extra symbols for what in base 10
we write as 11 and 12. I can do base 16 arithmetic more easily than base
12, and that's partly because there's only ever one digit (numeric or
letter) in each column.

Why, many people already work in base 16.
