I always get confused with it, since it could be a honest typo for a plain "if". Why not just use "if and only if", which is the meaning of "iff"? It is far clerer then "<=>" or any other funny ASCII combination, and it also makes sense for anyone who is capable of reading some basic English. Cheers.
