Yup, you are not the only one -- this annoyed me sufficiently that I finally gave in and wrote a Chrome extension to do this for me.
Basically it watches the address bard and looks for www.ietf.org/id/<foo> and, depending on the setting in the options page, will redirect to the Tools or Datatracker.

So, if I follow a link like http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-idr-as0-03.txt the extension will notice and rewrite it to http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-as0-03 (or https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-idr-as0/ ).

This is my first extension/ javascript, and it's not particularity polished, etc but if folk are interested it is on the tools page ( http://tools.ietf.org/ ) or, direct: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/aiccdpabeagpjcebilebhlifplfkinao


Share and enjoy.
