Yeah, no, I think code with braces looks better....

Objective asthetics? As far as I'm concerned, the tabs vs. spaces debate has basically proven that it doesn't exist for programming languages... (I'm rabidly pro-tabs, by the way). Maybe some of it is "trained myself not to see the braces", but it looks wrong without them.

All that aside, you just moved the argument from "My way is faster/less work" to "My way looks better", which is somewhat objective -> subjective.
