I have never quite bought this argument. Surely one can search for <at> as easily as @. I have an email address which is published by my employer on publicly accessible websites. However, I get almost no spam because of good filtering. I also have a domain and an email address I rarely use. Despite this being more difficult to find, I get tons of spam. Address munging is inconvenient and ineffective, IMHO. The solution to spam is filtering.
