I'm -1 on the @-syntax for the same reason as Fernando Perez; IPython from Scipy.
Scipy has its own conference, so seemingly has a fairly large user base.
IPython is an enhanced Python shell that uses @ for certain shell accesses and aliasing.
Since there exists a piece of Python software (which may be used by a not-insignificant number of people) that uses @, IMO, using @ for decorators, when there exists two other valid syntaxes (either of which many have declared to be just fine), seems a bit irresponsible.
