Seemed eminently more readable than rationalist!Harry to me when I first encountered this notation, although now it's sunk in enough that my brain actually generated "that's more keystrokes!" as a reason not to switch style.
Just curious (and not necessarily addressed to you specifically), but what on Earth is wrong with the standard, conventional English notation for this, which is a hyphen? E.g. "Rational-Harry" etc.
Explained here:

I was looking for an explanation of why the exclamation point was used in preference to the already-existing hyphen notation. Instead, that page only contains an explanation of the meaning and the origin of the exclamation-point notation, and does not compare it to the hyphen notation at all.
