Much nicer for a faggot?
C printf() format strings are THE STANDARD!!!
What kind of incredible C# excrement devourer does it take to prefer the faggot version?

I've hated printf style format strings ever since I first saw them. They're crap.
>>12
Printf syntax is not the epitome of beauty, but doing what is done to format strings in "py3k" is like replacing regexp syntax with "{1}{3}{2}.".regexp('a'.one_or_more(), re.classes.alpha_num.one_or_more(re.LAZY), re.classes.digit.zero_or_more())
Plus, all those hideous (and compact) %08d don't go anywhere, they are just encased in quotes and put into arguments of string.format().

The largest benefits with the new formatting are named/numbered fields, more flexible support for more advanced types, and not using special syntax. That's besides looking, IMO, a bit nicer.
Ever since I first saw them I thought printf() format strings were compact and easy-to-use. There really isn't a much more concise way to specify formatted output.

Agreed. One of my biggest peeves with printf format strings is that the positioning is implicit, so if you want to display something twice (e.g. decimal value followed by its hexidecimal equivalent) you have to specify the parameter twice.
>>15
The part of >>13 with the nonsense regexp analog or the part which complains that they're still using compact formatting specifications?
