Personally I hate implied casting of booleans (and implied casting generally), and go out of my way to make boolean checks explicit whenever I touch the code. These kinds of shortcuts made some sense when minification was commonly a manual thing. But now, I want code to be as verbose as necessary for it to be unambiguous.
