It certainly can be abused but I do use it within a class, particularly 
for comparison operators. For example, in Python I might redefine the 
__eq__ dunder if an object has five fields and I want to exclude one, say 
a timestamp, from the comparison. I do the same in C#. Most of my C++ in 
the last decade or so has be to use the Esri C++ API and isn't very fancy.

It's another one of the features that is valuable if used correctly and a 
disaster if someone uses it just because they can without thinking it 
through.
