I do (mind).  I like a[5] better, too, but it seems to me that having
both syntaxes is worse than having either one.  Suppose I'm used to
writing (and therefore reading) a[5] -- then I can't read other people's
code so easily, if they like the other convention.  Reading other
people's code is important.
