> Klartag is convinced that this makes them extremely powerful: Convex shapes, he argues, are underappreciated mathematical tools.

I agree with this and I'm not even a mathematician, I've seen convex hull algorithms pop up in unexpected places to solve problems I would never have thought of using convex hull algorithms for, like a paper on automatic palette decomposition of images.
