What about IPv4?

Not intending to start a flame war but we have had protocols, RFC's and STD's come and go over the last 40 years (SMTP RFC came out in 1982... damn I'm old), yet we are still complaining about ipv4 address depletion for over 20 years, we are still using it, and will admit even though I'm seeing more ipv6 addresses in use I still get an uneasy feeling when I see one vs the good old dotted quad...

Am I passed it and holding onto the ideas of "it was better before" or should we start thinking about a better internet protocol?
