Circle of Fifths/Fourths

Author: ArgoPete

What is the benefit perceived by a significant number of woodwind players in reversing the circle of fifths and showing it clockwise as the circle of fourths. This just seems to make it less useful as Western Music is based on fifths and the circle sets out practically anything one needs to know from scale definitions through chord progressions when addressed with C at Midnight and the sharps flowing clockwise.
I do understand transposition and that most woodwinds read middle C more as a fingering guide than an actual note. I am perfectly happy with reading Open G in Bflat notation and hearing A Concert. So why change the Circle?
