Maybe it comes from using Python as my go-to language (and that it's my favorite language) but i personally like to avoid non-essential braces and other minutia. Yes, of course, I know the argument: a one-line bracketless "if" can set-up a future developer for failure if they need to add an item to the conditional block. And if they for some reason decide not to read the actual conditional. And if they don't test it. And I don't hate code that uses braces even when they're not strictly needed, but I personally prefer to omit them. And my feeling is that the dogma around braceless-ifs is a little overblown. Of course when working on a team that has adopted a no-braceless-if policy, I conform. Having consistent code is way, way more important than somebodies own favorite bracing style.
