I would argue that we don't compared to other languages of PHP's age. Either way it doesn't matter - it's still a guideline we should stick to. To make it clear, the main thing I opposed is not the new idea (I stated my opinion separately), but the notion of "you don't have to use the new syntax so why should you care", which simply doesn't cut it with PHP.One of the key guidelines of the language definition process of PHP was that we don't want multiple ways of doing the same thing, and we don't buy the argument of 'why do you care? you can still do it the other way'.
