FWIW, JSR-310 currently has 18 non-test usages of increment/decrement, vs 42 uses of add. Less, but certainly used. The real value in increment/decrement is that it becomes a simple mapping from operator to method a++ = increment(a) a-- = decrement(a) a + b = add(a, b) This makes it easier to see what the intent would have been were the real operators safe.
