For what it's worth:

After maintaining a large project over a few years, the 
maintenance simplicity and ease of updates I gained from
a set and written programming style have been great, and
one of the biggest improvements was the addition of
pure-block formatting with braces around every conditional.
At least in my case, it really is a very large improvement
in readability and maintainability.

I don't do assignments in conditionals either.  And you
know what?  The difference in code size and speed is either
nonexistant or minimal at best.

IMHO, the extra braces are DEFINATELY worth the extra
effort, particularly when sharing code.
