We are all on the Internet. I can read both but find way more material via Tab. A hundred times more and MUCH more variation, creativity, etc. Tab can be written by great grandma waiting for the cookies to bake or a 13 year old bursting with energy.
There is hardly a piece I need 'the flavor' for via notation that I don't find on Youtube. I search the tune and...voila... a dozen versions or more played via guitar... or any other instrument from kazoos to grand pianos.
As for not learning tab...fine, stay ignorant. It took me all of 5 minutes to read tab...it's art, not rocket physics.
I started out with notation 40 years ago, but today much prefer the tab when both are present. Much of the music printed pre-internet was stifling and full of atrophied dead brain cells from students bored to death reading music put in a notation straight-jacket.
