How the hell is it worse? It lets me write things like

    toolbar.visibility = userSettings.showToolbar ?? defaultSettings.showToolbar

    someOption = localPreference ?? onlinePreference ?? defaultPreference
which is a lot better for the coder and a reader than any other alternative I can currently think of.

Think I like others may have read that wrong and it was meant as a joke.
