I said it makes it “look” more complex, not that it made it more complex, which
may or not be the same thing.

Well Obviously then you do:
if (X == YES)
{
}
else
{
}
As far as maintainability is concerned, I find less braces more maintainable.
There are always cases when you can’t do an early return, in those cases of
course you need to add braces, but if possible I always use an early return.
