In general, it gets a bit interesting when a feature is useful if 
used correctly and gets used correctly by experts but generally 
screws up most programmers. For instance, the comma operator 
would be a case of that. If used correctly, it can be really 
useful, but it's so easy to misuse that it's generally considered 
bad practice to use it. And yet, I'm sure that there are folks 
out there who love it and use it correctly on a regular basis. 
That's not the norm though.
