I’m not a programmer (I tried learning programming and unity but got lazy so…) but when I learned about if-then statements, the second one seemed like the way it’s supposed to be; I mean it looks so clean and simple. Do actual programmers prefer the first method?
This is the only way;
Not
Also because of my dyslexia I prefer variable & function names like this; ‘File_Acces’ I find it easier to read than ‘fileAcces’
I use all 3.
If it’s very short and there’s 2 or more in a row, I’ll put it all in one line.
If there’s a bunch of nested if statements, I’ll use the second.
If neither of those conditons, I’ll use the first.
I’ve only seen the second type in C#, to be fair it makes code neater but i’m glad I left it for Java.
How does it make code neater? All it does is add a ton of empty vertical space. It makes files arbitrarily longer at essentially no benefit.
I think it would be a much hotter take if you had the opposite opinion. I’ve only met a few of those.

The 2nd is the style guide used in C#, and therefore what you’ve encountered in unity.
I prefer the first method because it reduces the number of empty lines I have to scroll past and visually filter out
