I agree there are times when its use can make things confusing but unless is a very natural language modifier. As such, I love it. It lets me think in perl.

unless ( $me->is_tired ) {
    $me->go_to_the_market();
}
#  the other direction, to me, reads perfectly well
$me->go_to_the_market() unless $me->is_tired();
