vs.

if ((pid = fork()) == -1) {
	// Handle error
	...
} else if (pid == 0) {
	// Handle as child
	...
} else {
	// Handle as parent
	...
}

With a more compact bracing style, it is (IMHO - and it is entirely an 
opinion) neater and clearer.  The braces and indenting are consistent, 
local variables within each block are local to the block without adding 
"freestanding" braces, and you don't have the "break" to close your blocks.

To my reading (and again, this is opinion, preference or personal 
judgement), the "default" clause of a "switch" statement is for the 
left-overs - odd situations that are not handled by the normal cases, or 
an error situation for values that were unexpected.  Using it here does 
not match the symmetry of the call (for which 50% of the calls will give 
a pid of 0, 50% will give a positive pid, and hopefully only a tiny 
fraction will give -1).

I am happy to accept that some people judge the "switch" to be 
aesthetically nicer, simpler or clearer in some way, even though I don't 
see it that way myself.  I am merely trying to establish if there are 
any objective points I have missed.
