Well, instead of Code:

counter = counter+1

you write Code:

counter +=1

.
And instantly make your code uncompatible with majority of BASIC's.
(You may not care actually - one always code "here" and "now")

Visual BASIC has them, BBC BASIC has them, PowerBASIC has them.... (and of course they're ubiquitous in most other programming languages like C++, Java, Python etc.).

Also bear in mind that the compound assignment operators aren't just faster to write, they execute more quickly too.
