I don't think it's conducive to productivity to constantly type things
that aren't needed for the simple sake of consistency - especially
special characters which are by nature harder to type. As they say "a
foolish consistency is the hobglobin of little minds". I add "syntactic
sugar" only when required, much like a native English speaker doesn't
shy away from things like contractions under a habit of always spelling
out all words even if they aren't absolutely necessary... YMMV.
