All right, I'll bite, I don't like hyphens. I only use them if a client makes me. I find them clunky, and a leftover of manual type setting days when letters were little bits of metal that either all fit in a row or didn't. With kerning, width control and all the other nifties we have now I don't see any reason to go hashing words in two.
