IMO !() is less readable and more error-prone than () == 0.
Matter of style.

This turns into ExtremeNitpicking. ;-)

Indeed but ide_get_best_pio_mode() call goes away completely in patch #13/15.
Please don't miss "The Big Picture".

ditto
General remark: please note that the keeping the development _process_ steady
is much more important than getting _single_ change perfect (it just need to
be good enough) because otherwise we end up investing too much time on things
which are not that important in the long-term and time is a very limited
resource.
Well, I tended to be perfectionist myself until I took the grasp of above.
;-)
Thanks,
Bart
