Well, I'm one of the people that use [] for qw. I very seldomly use () as delimiters; parenthesis already have a couple of meanings, using them as delimiters as well doesn't contribute to code clearity in my book.

My favourite delimiters are:

Operator Pref. Other Delim. Delims q, qq, qx {} <> // !! qw [] // {} <> s, m, qr // {} <> !! y, tr // [] {} <>
I never use '#' as a delimiter (althought it's popular with many people).

As you can see, all the delimiters I often use tend to be long, narrow, and mostly vertical.
