Eh, anytime I need to read SQL that includes that I have to sit down and think about it. It's not glance-and-understand and you have to maintain that state in your head. Not the sort of SQL I want to rely on as a practice.

Mind you, most of what I write are ad hoc SQL queries where I might write 100-200 queries in a single day. So that sort of thing really adds up. And it's in a strange place where performance isn't dire, since I can work on other stuff while queries chug.
