It is a burden for some people to learn and remember the exact details
of both systems and exactly how they differ. Having both in the stdlib
hurts readability for such people. I would prefer that the stdlib only
used {} formatting or if not that, that it only used the simple,
hard-to-forget forms of % formatting (%s, %d, %f, without elaboration).
If that issue was getting serious, I would prefer if the .format method
was deprecated, and only % formatting was kept.
Why is that? Isn't .format regarded superior?
I find the .format syntax too complicated and difficult to learn. It has
so many bells and whistles, making it more than just a *mini* language.
So for my own code, I always prefer % formatting for simplicity.
