I'm a huge fan of (s)printf, so keeping it or not is not a meaningful
question IMO. Of course it has to stay, if only in the interest of
backward compatibility.
The issue here is: is it desirable to have a "dumbed down" version of
printf?
Exactly. It seems to me everybody in this poll was answering the
question "Should printf() be replaced?". Which was never my intention.
The point is whether or not to *add* a simpler version for simple stuff.
