Debugging stuff is slow with IPv6. This includes quick comparison of
addresses, of host portion and of network portion of two (or more) source
or destination addresses.
In IPv4, it is possible to visualize (average sized, corporate) network in
human brain.
Network consists not only of nodes (which DNS can fix), but also of address
ranges, multicast addresses, subnets, etc...
