There is no need to use a new syntax to appriciate it,it's only a syntax 
we can read it.

If it has been simple to estabilish the use of the docstring (which I 
don't use waiting (in vain ?) for a literate python) now
this story of decorators has nothing to do with a decoration of the 
language.It's like we must learn a new way of reading our
favourite way of coding,and some of us don't understand why we must do 
it,as this feature is not for making new things.
All in all:if it's only a new way of writing things they can already be 
written,it's very normal every typer/reader want to express
his/her preference,mainly because wants to use it.
Every language has a sensual side,Python (and Ruby eheh) beats them all 
and this battle shows the pride of loving it.
