I think the feeling was that it encourages a slightly different style
of programming, instead of:
f $ g $ h x
People should do:
f . g . h $ x
Then you can change the $ as suggested, and use it in other places.
For a while I was persuaded it was a better style, but now I'm not
convinced and have stuck to the first style. Either way, its a matter
of style whose elegance is certainly not worth breaking all my code to
improve.
Thanks
Neil
