If i had to guess, the implicit access to all your vars feels gross to some, it's why I don't use them. I mean they are probably fine, like you said, puts the symbol right where you want it. It just never felt right to me. so I keep up the double dance of explicate format() calls.
It is probably some sort of deep seated printf() based trauma.
I recently swapped from adding strings together (just what I've always done) to f-strings and I'm not looking back!
I even get to keep the idea of being able to read the vars in-place in the string which is certainly the last thing that I needed to be happy to use them! Full convert now!
