While I definitely understand how it would be nicer to type less and use something simpler like
CI, that doesn't keep it really all that safe from name collisions with other packages. Someone might have initials CI, or might have a company with that name, or might be part of a continuous integration server, etc. To keep those namespaces from colliding we have to keep a more descriptive, read longer, namespace.
Good IDE's can insert that for you. Good editors usually have some form of snippet solution that can help reduce typing like this, and there are tools like TextExpander that can help you throughout your operating system, if you want to use them.
