I have to agree. I love imaginary numbers, the complex exponential, both the s-plane and the z-plane. Because, like yours, my hobby is electronics.

Neither as a low level system programmer, nor in any of my high level programming jobs a long long time ago, have I ever needed imaginary numbers. Privately yes, but that's just when writing code for my hobby.
