/agree
Most of the time when I have to deal with other programer's code, where they use this style of a conditional, I have to break it out to a IF-THEN-ELSE or SWITCH construct in order to add features/error checking/bug fixes/whatever. It is just simplier to write it "long form" first, then to redo it later, IMO. But reall this is a STYLE issue, not a SKILL issue.
