You'd be amazed if you were working with networking in the early 90s before TCP/IP "won" over NetBEUI/AppleTalk/IPX, and the same was said then, those huge weird numbers were unwieldy and nothing an admin should have to remember.

Answer still the same, use DNS and stop caring for the large numbers.
