My guess is that the folks who object to it are, like me, folks who primarily work in Python and C, and don't want to try to keep two really different sets of formatting codes in their heads. Folks who work primarily in Python and .NET (or whereever these new-fangled codes come from) probably feel the opposite. But it's a mistake to say that it's just "taste"; for this one there's a real cognitive load that affects ease of programming.
