Haven't needed signed math. Well, I did write an abs() function for variance stuff.
Signed Math is the one thing that I get down on my knees and give thanks for every time I open our code.

If you are doing any serious control loops (a PID feedback control on a robot arm for example), signed math is a real time saver.

But... ...C is a language for consenting adults. You can get into a lot of trouble if you are a casual user.
