Yeah, many of the EE techs I've worked with wanted to do that, too. I guess it's a matter of defining current in the same direction the physical particles are going, to avoid being confused, and chasing around a bunch of minus signs in your equations. Or you simply define current to be the flow of positive charge and forget about electrons.

Regards,
The problem is that if they want to define positive current to flow in the same direction as the electrons, then they have to also redefine voltage so that the polarity of every battery, for instance, is reversed. Otherwise they have not got a consistent system and that is what results in the appearance of magical mystery minus signs.
