printf,scanf vs. cout, cin. Voice your choice

Explain why you use what you use

cout/cin

Easier, type-safe, nicer code and more flexible (stringstream, fstream etc.).

I like how cout/cin make my code look, however when I have to format my output, floats/ints etc, to come out in a certain way, I always find myself thinking that it used to be so much less of a hassle using the good old format specifiers with printf. I guess I just need to get used to all of the stream manipulators that are available... and I don't quite get why everything defined under the iomanip header isn't already a part of the iostream header.

cout/cin easier to look at and stuff

printf ("text"); or however it goes doesnt seem right to me but

cout << "text" << endl; does. i think its the apprenticies ()
