Pointless and annoying is my take on it - the number of times things won't show properly in email, or as used to happen in my opera browser, just as squares. And then when you copy and paste something from a webpage or from word that's got the fancy stuff in and have to go through and hand-amend it to get it to display properly? Nah, very irritating on a personal level. And using the fancy stuff assumes everyone else has software that will display it correctly, which is as arrogant as assuming everyone's browser sees flash so coding fancy animated webpages, or assuming the entire world has broadband so not bothering to reduce graphic size.
I'd rather be sure as many people as possible can see the words and the meaning, rather than find them pretty :)
