a. You ought to be using an up-to-date version anyway...
b. Many should learn what it is / what it does ;)
c. You can enable short tags; conflicts / reasons not to are rare
d. PEAR is for distributing code, in which case a & c matter & the short
tags should not be used
e. Looks no funnier than <? echo $myVar ?> or <? getMyVar() ?> (IMHO of
course ;) )

Don't mean to bring this into some kind of unending debate like so many
things seem to get, but I have to agree with Alex. There are a very large
number of applications where using <?= is completely acceptable. I think we
tend to lose sight of that when we start talking about huge web apps...
we're not all building huge web apps... and in fact, a lot of us benefit
from the quick coding time of being able to insert variables with <?=.
