I mean you only have to do calculations if you're used to base10. If you're used to base20 then it should come just as naturally as base10. Reading through the Wikipedia page, the linguistic remenants really suggest that it did come quite naturally.

Changing bases is actually really cool and can be useful if you ever want to play with big numbers on paper and make the comprehendable!
