I think it depends on context, I like using auto when the type is clear from the surrounding 5-7 lines of code or if it's for some nested-container-iterator stuff. The rule of thumb is, if the context doesn't provide enough information about types to deduce what the inferred type for `auto' will be after a quick glance, then don't use auto.
