I agree. I also like % for evaluation purposes more than d20. Using a d20 you have to re-calculate all the probabiltity chances back into %. Eg a climb 17 means a 85% to sucessfully climb a tree. Why not using a 85 from the begin of the situation? % is so much more intutive. Humans are good in evalutating situtations in % and we are often used to it in our dally life. Why we should use in roleplaying artifical ranges of 1-20? (not to mention those awful dice pool systems - spit)
Mathematically a d20 is not much difference to %, but from the viewpoint of usabiilty and practice, % is easier to use, IMO
