I think "with" is a very dangerous feature due to the way it hides symbols. It essentially makes the feeblest attempt at modular reasoning utterly impossible:

 int x, y;
with (whatever)

}

"with" is a useless feature and a waste of a keyword. I'd love to get rid of it.

Same here. I don't remember myself using it ever.
