Mind my asking what you gain? Preferably something that does not fall into the - arguably subjective - category of esthetics? Because if you got nothing, then what's wrong with adding the braces? I find they look dashing. Also they let me see - at a glance - whether it's a block or a line that's indented due to wrapping. Plus it's uniform!
I agree the chances of causing bugs due to omitted braces are slim to none, but "whining" because one may gain nothing while giving up nothing in return seems pointless to me. So, if it's esthetics, fine, do with your code as you please, but leave the rest of us alone, will you?
