No. I love them. But not if they are so large that they stretch over several lines (or to many columns). foo = bar if cond else baz is more than fine for me. But foo = I_need_to_do_something_really_complicated_here() if cond else baz isn't, because one doesn't grasp as easily in one look that we're talking a ternary operator here.
