I know it's a convention since the inception of the language, but the operator overload abuse of the bitshift operator still makes me sad every time I see it :(
You are not alone. many on the standard committee are trying to get rid of it. std::print is the new way to do io instead of cout in part so you don't have to abuse shift for io. This is new in c++23 though so few people know about it.
Bjarne appears to prefer cout though, so it isn't universal.
