I often have the pleasure of refactoring this mess. And sometimes it's not just 2 ternaries but like 4 or 5 thrown together. It took like half an hour to even understand what was going on. If you do this, you are just an evil person...

So I totally support this. Stop this shit...

If you can use any of the jetBrains IDE it can rewrite it to if/else with a few clicks (or [alt] +[return])

Ah that would be helpful. Gotta try that the next time I encounter such a monstrosity.
