Short tags are evil and are being depricated in PHP6. If you have them in any of your code, I would seriously recommend updating them to long tags as on some PHP5 systems this is off (in fact, I think PHP5 has them off by default). If short_tags is off and you try to use them you will have some rather interesting results (as I found out recently with a borroed piece of code I was working with).
Sometimes using the <?= is usefull for printing out variable values, as I dont like using the long winded echo, but if the short hand is being depricated, what is a developer to do when trying to output variable values in a script?
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.
Which I think is cleaner anyway. At least it's consistent I don't find the word "print" or "echo" overly offensive or scary... most template languages look scarier than that
