I never programmed much before I started using blitz, so the slash notation is perfectly natural to me. And I don't have any trouble switching to dot notation when I need to; I have since done work in languages that denote objects that way, and it was never a problem.
Personally, I have bigger difficulties with other aspects of the syntax. For example, I like how BASIC languages don't complicate If statements with brackets and such, but it can be confusing when your condition and statement are all on one line.
