I love "new".

Why type more and clutter your code when you don't have to.

I see it creeping back in to use with some people, but IMO, new bears too many 
references to other languages’ use of new.

It seems too close to how it would be used in other languages and may imply 
things that aren’t the best.

I think it’s a case of, “well in the olden days, new was used for stuff that 
was different.  We’ll use another word now.”

This just seems like a case of, “yeah, you can do it, but it’s probably better 
to let it rest and use another approach.”

Thoughts?  Agree?  Disagree?

Is the use of +new discouraged also?
Apple have gone back and forth on this AFAIR. +new was actually the 
pre-retain/release way to create an object. So it has been discouraged since 
... OpenStep, I think? But it was never formally deprecated, and I'm seeing it 
used more and more in ARC code these days.
