most people don't use them, as they are compiler specific.

it is like using lambda blocks. they exist on some compilers, but are 
pretty much a novelty item best to be avoided.

one mans' obfuscation is another mans' coding convention.

but, I guess it depends on what practices are in question.
I have seen the "obfuscation" argument used to try to attack things like 
people doing arithmetic using shift operators, but pretty much anyone 
who has been doing programming for a while is likely to be well-versed 
as to what the shift operators are and do (as well as the use of bitwise 
operators and hexadecimal).
