I used to like "BC" and "AD" more, but now I really don't care, and in some ways "BCE" and "CE" makes more sense now. I say that because under the BC/AD system, the intention (after the fact) was presumably to mark the birth of Christ as 1 AD (with no year zero). But given scholarly evidence to indicate that Jesus Christ was born around 4 BC, how could Christ be alive "Before Christ"? So unless we add four years from the current calendar and assert that we live in 2015 AD, I'm cool with the BCE/CE designation.
