Add versus Let

As a stylistic matter, I was wonder what, if anything, you folks use 'Add>' for. Even in the examples in the help file, the preferred form seems to be:
Let>var=var+1
[cf the help section on RdLine]

Do any of you still use 'Add>'? It almost feels like it is a leftover from a time when msched didn't evaluate expressions in "Let>'...

Let>var=var+1 (13 characters)
Add>var,1 (9 characters)

Same result - less to write - lazy developers isn't it ?

Add can also add a number of days to a date:

GetDate>today
Add>today,2

Let can't do this.
