In comparison to [], yes. I mean, I've got used to array() and all, and I'd happily carry on using it if the consensus goes that way, but I'd also switch all my scripts to [] in a twinkling if it became permitted. (Hell, let's face it, you can get used to anything if it's the right tool for the job -- and almost anything's an improvement over spending an afternoon counting parentheses in a LISP program, curly brackets in a B program, or the number of implied REFs in an Algol68 type declaration...!)
