But nowhere near as clear.
Note: not single-quotes ('), but backticks (`). It's usually the key

I rest my case :)
Why? It's one single key. Easy to remember. Nothing is easier than
one key instead of needing shift+4-shift+9 to produce "$(" :P
Note you can also nest commands when using $(), which you can't do with
backticks.
You can, but that is awkward (echo `echo \`echo \\\`ls\\\`\``). But for
a single, not-nested command, `` is lighting fast to type.
