The main reason to always use them is to avoid confusion; it's harder to introduce bugs if you always use braces. MooTools style is to not use them for one line statements. However, when you have an if/else, if one of them is multiline, both get braces.

My preference is to always use the { } no matter how many statements to execute in an if statement. What are do the rest of you use?

· Personal preference

· Team coding standards

· Less distraction by style (less to think about while typing if
single- and multi-statement have the same style)

· Fewer screwups when adding additional statements

· Line breaks less sensitive
