You don't see anything wrong with making the spec larger, implementation harder, adding more to learn, more for a decent text editor to support, and more burden on everyone who doesn't want to use those fancy unicode thingers? As mentioned elsewhere on the list, it's best as a display option in a text editor, not as a language feature. It doesn't even introduce minification benefits since the number of bytes in any of those fancy symbols encoded to utf8 is >= the equivalent number of 'regular' operators.
