I thought it had more to do with the fact that there isn't a ≠ key on most people's keyboards.

    My editor's font/ligeratue changes the != To that symbol when programming. Unfortunately I have to use visual basic usually and type out Not most of the tiime but works well with C#.

    Probably not a big increase in readability but I like it. Damn hate all the words needed in VB.net but oh well, could not be programming for work which would be worse and least still know .net libraries.

    Well, that's because they removed it after WW2. The original IBM keyboard had this, and other Nazi symbolism. (IBM collaborated with the Nazis, if you weren't aware)

    Another fun fact: the Windows logo today is where the swastika used to be. If you look closely, you can see how the swastika's influence on Microsoft's iconic logo persists to this very day
