Karate pig has a point it would still be very complex either way it would just save blocks
I don't understand what you're saying here. Also, if you look at the bottom of a post it says "Quote". If you click that, it will do what my post does to yours, but it will notify me. The reason I saw your post is because I was curious to see what the community would say.
NO. Period. It's very impractical, and would take away cleverness and many times take away the complexity, that makes redstone fun.
It would be nice for upside down redstone torches, so we could transfer power down as well as up, far more compact than a glowstone checkerboard tower, or *shudder* a spiral staircase. But wall redstone it just, as you said impractical. Especially because then we need wall repeaters, and it just gets to be ridiculous.

That is true, but the point is, redstone is fun because of the challenge it can give us, perhaps we could use this as a last resort, but I wouldn't use this just to simplify it redstone.

Rights. Im not saying that we need a vertical redstone transfer ASAP, but IF Mojang were to add a way for redstone pulses to travel vertically down, this would be better than sticky redstone.
EDIT: Its funny, I opened this to say
No. Redstone is a dust, there is no way it would be able to make a functional tool or armor set. Even compacting it, do you honestly think compacted or heated dust would be solid enough to be worthwhile? Look at glass. It is heated sand, and both are very easy to break with bare hands. Redstone armor/tools would have one use. And therefore would be useless.

There's several ways to take a pulse downwards. Are you saying that you'd rather a 1x1 pillar to carry power downwards, than a 1x2, just to simplify it/use less resources? You could put redstone on-top of a block with a torch on the end, then a block below, continuing the same pattern, except alternating the torches, until you reach the bottom. Unless you're wanting it to go up, and down. Then you'd probably have to use a spiral staircase.

Not to simplify it, to compact it. Both are of the same simplicity, but a 1x1 tower is smaller, and thus we can make smaller and smaller circuits and machines. Been on youtube lately? Everyone is trying to make the most compact devices. Flush piston doors, elevators, etc. Everyone wants theres to be the most compact. a 1x1 tower does that more than 1x2.

Yeah, I guess you're right. But I'm still against using it.
In response to karatepig an kanokarob, I would definitely use upside-down torches not necessarily for 1x1 downward transmission towers, but simply because there is no way currently to strongly power a block BELOW where you are wiring. The only way to power it at all is to weakly power it by putting redstone dust on it, but I would love if i could strongly power blocks from above.

I play Slave Hack, give it a try!

Then if/when vertical downwards redstone torch towers become possible, you can stick to outdated 2x1's. No one will blame you.

Fine by me But I just don't see easy coding for entities on their side.
Ta. Flipping. Da.

Darn you... Haha. Ok then, I guess this conversation is over. Thanks for giving me my thinking lesson for the day
I also gave you a higher post count.
I love debates, win or lose. Even though I dont lose, so I thank you, good sir.

Hehe, this is my second account, first one was outdated/not used/made when I was childish. Hehe, you're bound to lose a debate one day.
