The main reason I think you shouldn't use them is it reduces the portability of your code: 1) You may move your app to a hosting platform that doesn't support short open tags 2) You may release some code as open source and others may try, and fail, to use it if their environment doesn't support them 3) You may have a problem that you need help with, but someone who wants to help you, can't because their environment does support short open tags.
