  One argument in favor of tau is that in many formulas pi 
  often has the multiplier 2 in front of it.
And an argument in favor of pi is that many formulas do not have that any multiplier in front it. So this cannot be resolved without quantitative evidence of the number of formulas using either one, including their frequency of use.

Of course you can construct infinitely many formulas, but most of those are used a vanishingly small number of times. The question is what common formulas use pi or tau. How often would people actually have to write, read or say a factor?



In any formula where the 2 in 2π has been canceled by some irrelevant 2, the cancellation is not really an advantage; it obscures semantics.

Also, when counting formulas don't forget to expand "angular frequency" ω to the 2πf it denotes.
