Do you feel that way about the other logical operators? (and, if, if not, etc) Some of them are useful in casual usage as well as strict construction.
I don't find the abbreviation "iff" useful in english. It's too easy to overlook that extra "f," or mistake it for a typo. If it's important to specify "and only if," it's worth 3 words to specify it properly and increase the chance it will be recognized and understood.
