I'm a if ((a == b) && (c == d)) guy but yeah, spell it out not just so the compiler doesn't mess with you, for me, it is more so my eyes run over the expression and I can parse it with less brain cells, parens let me think less. I've always had the opinion that code should be written in a way that is the most easy to read.
