I think most people (I am not most people in this case) prefer / use postfix increment & decrement because it is what they learned first and how most examples seem to be written. I prefer to use prefix operators (barring the need for postfix side effects) just because they read more naturally in my native language. I think it makes more sense when thinking "increment i" to see "++i". The fact that it is potentially more efficient (though probably not in practice) is just a bonus. Now if only I could get everyone on board with making $ for currency a "postfix" operator (because 1$ makes more sense than $1). :)
