Are they, still?  I can't speak for everyone, but I know I've 
never used it.  I wish I had had it for precisely the feature in 
question when I was first learning C, even though it would have 
spoiled me on other compilers until...2013, apparently. :/

In the few compilers I've used that had it, I've never begrudged 
its existence; it's usually been helpful, and never harmful.  You 
could say I like it because it offers proper visualisation of the 
data.  I didn't realise it was moving from "rare, nice perk" to 
"in-demand standard feature" until this thread.
