Interesting point.  I have always found key signatures to be confining  
and I haven't composed with standard notation since the mid 80's.  I  
prefer a piano roll editor.  My only need for standard notation is so  
I can learn the music and play it myself.

Traditional theory, harmony, etc... is always there for me if I need  
it however I really don't think about it when I'm composing.
