Is there any real reason to use "const"?

Luckily, humans are very adaptive and can be happy with the following 
style. ;)

if (x == y) {
   doSomething();

} else if (y == z) {
   doSomethingElse();

} else {
   doYetAnotherThing();
}

Especially note TABs are only for Makefiles. :p

But I can like the following no-brace formatting as well:

   if      (x == y) doSomething();
   else if (y == z) doSomethingElse();
   else             doYetAnotherThing();
