In greenfield projects under my dictatorship, I use 0, as in:

   char *p = 0;

I was still 20 something when I (easily) wrapped my head around the 0
null pointer constant, and have not had any problems with it.
Once I learned the standard-defined truth about null pointer constants,
and their relationship to the NULL macro, I dropped NULL like a hot
potato, and didn't look back (except when working in code bases that use
NULL).
