I agree with frodo72 in favour of unless, using !~ just because you want to avoid unless, is a most hidious practice.

!~ is even far more obscure than unless, and you should most definitely not start using it for frivolous reasons. Is there something in PBP about it? If it isn't, I'd add a Best Practices rule of my own:

Don't use !~
