It's difficult to manipulate binary digits in hexadecimal, too. I don't see any advantage to this.
Every hex digit represents exactly 4 binary digits. If you flip a bit in a hexadecimal number, then exactly one hex digit will change. To know how it will change, you only need to remember the binary values of 0-F.
With decimal, you could flip a bit and change every digit in the number.
