I think (hope?) most people already realize NHST is terrible. I would be much more interested in hearing if there were an equally-easy-to-use alternative without any baggage (preferably not requiring priors?)
Confidence intervals.
p<.05 means that the null hypothesis is excluded from the 95% confidence interval. Thus there is no political cost and every p-value recipe is a fragment of an existing confidence interval recipe.
added: also, the maximum likelihood estimate is a single number that is closely related to confidence intervals, but I don't know if is sufficiently well-known among statistically-ignorant scientists to avoid controversy.
