Yes, of course, you may like it that way, but this is about usability, not coolness. \
It's simply illogical. Who would know that > ist contrary to v (down) if they had no \
pc experience whatsoever? Plus and minus are a lot clearer, and anybody who had math \
in elementary school can understand at first sight that they are contrary to each \
other.
