I use this. I can read lines reading left to right with only </<= very quickly now, because of the visualization of a numberline in my head. Any other arrangement, and I have to slow down to my old, normal processing, and reason very carefully about the code, lest a subtle bug slip by.

For similar reasons, I find this notation helps me prevent errors, because they become visually detectable.

Sure if you have

    5 < x && x < 10

you can use the number line visualization very quickly, but it breaks down if the code is in fact

    x < 10 && 5 < x

It means the same thing. But it's not obvious.

So the number line analogy is incomplete and even when there is only </<= you still need careful reasoning.
