Yes, because 64.233.169.103 is so crystal clear...

Okay, this is going to be a stupid question, but does IPv6 effectively firewall itself off from IPv4? In other words, could one access IPv6 addresses while connected through an IPv4 connection, and vice versa?
If the answer is no, it is incompatible, then we're going to have one helluva time transferring every single server and every lay person's device over when the time comes.

I believe they are compatible.

A series of 1, 2, 3 digits is easier to remember to me than a series of numbers, letters, colons, slashes, percent signs, and brackets.

Yeah, but the whole point of DNS is that we don't need to remember the addresses at all. 
And with mDNS technologies like Bonjour it's becoming less and less necessary to know addresses for small/home networks as well.

Yes, I have this setup at home actually on my Airport Extreme. Comcast gives me an IPv4 address, but my Airport Extreme automatically tunnels through that to the IPv6 internet.

Hostnames rarely work over here (damn verizon and their cable modem/router hybrid).
Then there is the issue of remote servers.
