I never understood what people had against them. I've probably had 
trouble with a stray semicolon once or twice, but no big deal.

Just like the curly braces should always be there, the parenthesis 
should always be there as well. :)

for properties. But that's it for me. :) For example I don't like 
array.sort.

I don't see it as noise. Consistency is important for me.
