Pretty, however it doesn't seems easier to use. To find red on the hue scale for example.

Yeah, red being 29 hue and hue starting and ending at pink throws me off too. Orange is a lot easier to find due wider presence on other other hand.

But it's main advantage is hue being independent from perceptual lightness, if you are on windows 10 and use black and white filter it's really fascinating to tweak colors in realtime and see how much lightness gets skewed by hue in default HSV vs OKHSV.
