Opening a journal to find where to go is a lot easier the moving to a web browser and finding where to go.

Just because you had some bad experiences with these type of UIs before doesn't mean it won't be executed well. You are going to leave this option on for one simple reason. Turning off quest markers would be the same as turning off all the names display. Sure it makes things a little less cluttered. But the clutter is worth it.
