Likewise, some people prefer ternary statements for short checks; I want to agree because ternaries are one of the first things you learn after if/else/while/for, but at the same time... they're a shorthand, and shorthand is short but not necessarily more readable.

For one-off things like value = condition ? a : b I don't mind much, but I will make an issue as soon as it spans more than one line or if it's nested.
