I much prefer the square script over transliteration (it only took about
an hour of concentrated effort to learn). But despite my supervisor's
disapproval, I used transliteration when I wrote my M.A. (on Hebrew
poetry), for typographic reasons. To justify this choice , I noted that
four out of five scholars I examined used transliteration. Notable
heavyweights included O'Connor (Hebrew Verse Structure) and Watson
(Classical Hebrew Poetry). Puech's Croyance is another monument using
transliteration. 

But now with the advent of excellent right-to-left functionality in a
mainstream word processor, browser, and emailer, the typographic reason
has been eliminated. 
My question now is, when can we begin to use Unicode on B-Hebrew?
