There is no much difference technically... it's just that we have
found that most users prefer [], because it stands out better among
the XML/HTML tags. But use whichever you like, even with 2.3.x. (In
2.3.x either you have to turn on syntax auto-detection (that's the
default mode in 2.4) in the configuration, or start the file with
[#ftl], or else [] won't work.)

2.4, you mean. Maybe never... /-: but not soon for sure. (2.3.x is a
different story... that will have a new release in the foreseeable
future, and then surely later even more.)
