At the University where I'll be teaching starting in January, grading uses the +/- system, but with no A+ and with no D-.
As an instructor, I much prefer to have +/- available to me to allow for finer gradations between and among performance levels. That student just barely making the cutoff for the A range at 92 shouldn't, IMO, be getting the same grade as the student with the 98. Likewise, it makes those borderline cases a little easier; the student scoring a 91 and just barely missing the A isn't getting dinked a full grade point because of that.
