I don't know any Chinese, but real Chinese is much more legible to me
than transliterated one. Transliterations are complete gibberish to me,
but because I know Japanese and it uses many of the same characters with
the same meaning, real Chinese makes at least *some* sense and if I
need to learn a few variable names in it then it's easier to do so
with the
proper characters. It's also much easier to look up what they mean, as
others have already mentioned. The same should be true for anyone who
knows Japanese, and there's a whole nation full of those.
