Jannik,
You are right. \nabla looks much nicer and is placed correctly. (I
still think the \triangledown placement is slightly off.)
My environment files from MkII days have \def\nabla{\triangledown}, so I
never tried the true \nabla until your suggestion.
Thank you.

I think you are using the wrong symbol. Or at least I would prefer \nabla as gradient operator.
