Yeah, I really don't understand why people use signed integers so often. They seem... quirky. Especially in C where signed overflow is UB. I guess they're syntactically the default.

Would you consider the fixed width integer types (uint8_t, etc) a recent C feature worth using? The older type's size being implementation defined seems like a major pain to me, but I haven't used C much.
