In reality the way it's set up, you can find professors who ignore the +/- and use the old system when they report grades...those professors are awesome to find.

If it's to show distinction between different levels of quality it's not going to be a valid measure until all or at least the vast majority of schools are doing the same thing. From what I see here there are many systems and the only thing I can see coming from them is making your GPA less competitive in the job market.
