If your natural unit is radians, then you're arguing for tau rather than against it.
How many radians in the circle? Tau
How many in half a circle? Tau / 2
How many in a quarter turn? Tau / 4
Much better than mentally switching from a quarter circle to half a pi.
And if you're using it in calculus, it's more natural to integrate from 0 to Tau than from 0 to 2 Pi.
