It takes me way too long to add up all the notes into a chord fingering. So for me it's best to stick to tab, or in many cases, just give me the chord name and I'll figure the best way to play that chord and add any embellisments as I go. Of course, that's really more MY shortcoming than an indictment of standard notation.
