Are PHP short tags acceptable to use?

The <?= is one of the very few elegant things about PHP, IMO. Yet, there are people that deliberately avoid it (in favor of the much longer <?php echo). Why would they do that?

<?= is easier to use but some servers don't support short tags. Therefore, if you ever run into a server that doesn't support them, you need to replace all tags.
