Having spent some time in languages with poor IDE support, I'd weaken 
that: you can omit braces, when they reduce code readability, if the 
language or its tools permits easy mechanical reformatting. While the 
Java ecosystem has some good code formatters, not every language is so 
fortunate.

I've come to miss having a machine tell me if my formatting really 
matches my semantics, now that I don't have that on a daily basis.
