I disagree in some case....
The fact is that mirc has many method that do the same, like $token and $gettok, $r and $rand, $0 $numtok($1-,32) $gettok($1-,0,32)...
The reason why having $token $gettok and $() $eval() isn't the same but i don't care, this is the same problem as using or not {} and () for condition and commands, mIRC accept them, that all.
Ok $() should be used only in event definition, conditions should have () and commands should have {} but mIRC works with all these other method and while it will the case, i'll used them.The only thing that can change my scripting method is a changing behavior...
In reality i use $() or other thing that i shouldn't because of an habit but i can't see why you find *annoying* that someone else use a different method.
Note : Saying that $() should be used only in event definition is a good thing but you can't force someone.
