I like both. I mostly use "=", because it is less typing. I usually prefer output being equal to input, but I will use <-> for presentation occasionally (in that sense, the print mode is ideal for me).

I also still use == quite a bit, I never understood why it is discouraged so much. It has the better precedence, and I use it mostly for the difference between a definition and an equation, which non-Isabelle people seem to understand.

Cheers,
Gerwin
