No. I love them. But not if they are so large that they stretch over several
lines (or to many columns).

 foo = bar if cond else baz

is more than fine for me. But

 foo = I_need_to_do_something_really_complicated_here() if cond else baz

isn't, because one doesn't grasp as easily in one look that we're talking a
ternary operator here.
