Um why really? "No one uses them in C++"? How come? I agree that
Walter has succesfully produced/marketed a C++ compiler for a long
time, but really, "no one uses"?!!! I use, for one. And it does
tremendously increase the readability of a program. Otherwise why
would there be a separate C header ever since 1990 for that:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iso646.h

I agree that we should retain the old operators for C compatibility
but really at least the basic and/or/not/xor keywords should be
provided.
