I believe that the language feature is cute. I'm ok with APL doing all its special characters, but if you can write the same syntax in two ways, one of which is much more accessible than the other, then the less accessible way was a poor design choice. Allowing for two styles for the same syntax can (and will) lead to multiple styles depending on who wrote that line. Conflicting styles (mixing tabs and spaces anyone?) in turn makes the maintenance of the code more difficult and time consuming which is something that is often forgotten in the rush to write code.
