+new Date() - Is this good practice?

Question

So we had the Discussion today in our company about +new Date() being good practice or not. Some prefer this way over new Date().getTime().

Answer 1

IMHO, when there isn't much difference in performance, legibility should always win out. We should all be practicing WCTR "writing code to be read." Therefore, for me, this is best practice:

(new Date()).getTime();
