Removing curly braces? I have to paraphrase Torvalds on this:

Breaking the code into manageable chunks is a huge part in writing clear, maintainable software. A high amount of curly braces implies deep nested loops and/or branches, which also implies a high complexity (measured by cyclomatic complexity).
Also, IDEs can auto insert braces and indent the code. Unless you're using notepad, I don't see the problem.
