Personally, I like using semicolons and think they increase
readability. The compiler/interpreter does a good job of determining
where to put automatic semicolons, but it is harder for me to read a
series of non-semicoloned lines especially when some of the statements
are on more than one line. I don't mind the feature of optional
semicolons (mostly because I've never been burned by the compiler
inserting a semicolon where I didn't want one), but I almost always
use them.
