1.Problematic... [a] I run into sloppy if statements often... it is sometimes
difficult for me to infer what the programmer was trying to accomplish.
I would like to see
If XX then
Gosub YY
End else
Gosub ZZ
End
I often see shortcuts and fragmented if statements.
Some languages require a semicolon to specify the end
of a line. Some languages use curly braces to specify the beginning and end of
say a function
[b] This problem gets exacerbated with nested if statements.
2. Obsolete... I look forward to the day when programmers start to realize
that... for the reasons cited... and others... that IF statements are bad
programming practice.... perhaps one notch above the goto statement.

Explain more what you mean by saying the if is problematic and obsolete ?
