I use && and || a lot. I NEVER expect any command to fail except via a nonzero exit code. Any significant task I do with a shell script, and if signals etc. matter then I intercept them. Things like "a && (b ; c)" work very nicely but one rarely requires them. I think too much ado is being made over this issue.
