It's the familiarity thing, definitely.

I do a lot of embedded MCU work, which involves so much bit-twiddling (all IO is through mem-mapped peripherals) that it's spilling over into other work I do.

If I need to shove around a bunch of boolean flags, I'll probably use a int, because the boolean operations required to access the separate bits are basically autonomic at this point for me.
