Do you have another way of expressing integration on abstract manifolds that you prefer? Like I think it's quite natural that you'd need some sort of gadget to express the fact that, say, the function that's constantly 1 gives different integrals on spheres of different radii, even though they are diffeomorphic.

For me the answer is stratification of M_{g,n} by strata of abelian differentials, and also de Rham cohomology, but mainly the former for my current area of research.
