Until this thread I didn't even know they existed.. and I've been coding  
in C++ for ~12 years.  I suspect people who came to C++ from C (as I did)  
would not learn about them, because they are simply alternate syntax for  
something they already know and use.

I find them ugly and less clear - because I can glance at words & symbols  
and immediately see the operator, faster than with words and symbols.
