Whilst I use it like a monkey uses his hand to fling poo, every time I do, I hate the "x == y" construct more and more.

From a strict programming-language perspective, the discarded tautology is fairly useless. Unless you're using a logic language (which the c family languages are not), it's a completely useless comparison.

The mathematical identity definition, ≡, upon which the double-equals convention is based, may be a little more useful from a strict semantic perspective, but it just feels wrong.

So stop doing it.
