Stephen Hawking was so good at computing path integrals in his head that someone gushed to Feynman about how impressive his feats were.
Not quite as impressive as inventing path integrals, pointed out Feynman, who had invented path integrals.
This is why I prefer (-+++). Those who still use (+---) have to deal with this extra hassle in going to Euclidean singature. And you have to keep track of all the sign changes in the connections and curvature tensors
