You mean the question mark? We have a guy in the office here who uses nested ? as a form of switch statment... of some amusement to the rest of the programmers!

I use them sparingly. Actually I haven't used them at all in the current project, but I have been known to write stuff like
sprintf(text, "The value is %s", value?"Non-Zero":"Zero");

In that case fairly readable I think, but nothing beats an nice clear if statement!
