That's kind of a loaded question. I don't think that this simpler
syntax is "near useless." It fulfills pretty much all of the problems
that the original PEP aimed to fix. And, I don't mean to be rude, but
yes the @syntax is that horrible.

I used them enough to write the PEP in the first place, and I would use
them even more if there were a better syntax for them.
