Most days that's how I feel when dealing with designers!

(If your a designer its not a personal comment, just a exasperated 
comment a bad designer I'm working with ;-) )

It just reduces needless markup - making the html neater and also more 
succinct. Its mainly good for things like "jump to content links" or 
"back to top" links which are effectively static links to constant parts 
in the template (which more often than not will have an ID used for css 
layout reasons), and therefore you don't need an additional mark or 
anchor to jump to it. Hope that made sense ;-)

How odd! Maths (logic like accounting/coding) and calculating - they 
kind of go hand in hand tbh...
