Answer 1

Implicit operators are nice but also they can be confusing. I think that when you need to convert from one type to another it best to be explicit as there is no question as to what is going on.

Also implicit operators seemed to be reserved for things that are very much alike and the implicit conversion is intuitive. But I guess that is all subjective anyhow, use your best judgement.
