It is also not that complex. I have done it before, but there are now a
lot of expression languages and we should not invent yet another. Maybe
something like this:
test="jython: isset('XXX') and '${a}'=='${b}'"
could be used.

Not that I am proposing something concrete.
But this would require defining a proper expression evaluation language
for it.
This would be equivalent to the more verbose:
<if>
<and>
<isset property="XXX"/>
<equals arg1="${a}" arg2="${b}"/>
</and>
<then>
....
</then>
</if>
Or something simillar. But this is not something simple at all.

Actually <if> is too wordy. A mall <target if="XXX"> is
translated into
<target>
<if>
<isset property="XXX"/>
<then>
....
</then>
</if>
</target>
Complex conditions are big. A small expression language like "XXX &&
YYY" would be much nicer.

I do use it also. Do you know whether it will become a part
of main ANT?
So why you feel unconfortable about using <if/> is the fact
that is not
part of the supported CORE of ANT. Is that it?
That may give some food for thought, to the committers (me included).

Ok, what is wrong with using <if/>?
Besides, look&feel.
