This is a very long discussion Most domainers do not prefer domain hacks.
Hacks are not for the common mainstream users, they are for the bold who think VIRAL and not (just) SEO.

For a domain hack to work I think it needs to be extremely short, and a very popular word. Dolla.rs I personally don't think was a very good hack. In fact, I think overall there are very few really good domain hacks available.

I actually see them being bad for SEO purposes. They almost always require a ccTLD extension and that right there is going to impact SEO.
