You know by the time people have finished arguing about all these syntax preferences on all these forums you could have simply added functionality to the editor to automatically convert code between the two instantly. I mean that's what it would have to do anyway, if only in one direction. Why argue so much about it when it's so easy to accomodate both?
And FlameDuck you made a valid opinion but not an arguement. Goto was bad yes and let was useless. But their shortcomings don't affect the shortcomings of other features. You can make for loops using while loops. So if they removed for loops, what's to stop you from saying "I don't miss for loops one bit, ergo they are bad and I do not think they should be reintroduced"? You are entitled to that opinion, that you prefere not to use with, but it's no logical arguement why they should not be reintroduced, as in the case of with it doesn't allow the programmer to do anything dangerous, just express existing code differently.
