I don't think it's conducive to productivity to constantly type things 
that aren't needed for the simple sake of consistency - especially 
special characters which are by nature harder to type. As they say "a 
foolish consistency is the hobglobin of little minds". I add "syntactic 
sugar" only when required, much like a native English speaker doesn't 
shy away from things like contractions under a habit of always spelling 
out all words even if they aren't absolutely necessary... YMMV.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not 
sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
