Good editors are able to replace '<?=' with the proper longer form
automatically while typing or by pressing a special hotkey.

Even the PHP guys recommend to _not_ use them.

Short open tags are unreliable. They can be turned off on the server,
may cause trouble with XML and might be removed entirely in upcoming
versions like all the other old crap (magic quotes, register_globals).
Proper and portable code doesn't rely on them.
