Emerging Best Practices in Swift

Why is this explicitly testing for false:

  if defaults.boolForKey("launchBefore") == false {

rather than:

  if !defaults.boolForKey("launchBefore") {

I use this style myself. It is way easier to read than `!condition`. If you are scanning the code, a single `!` at the beginning of the condition won't stand out that much.

Probably a style thing. I think I recall reading about this in one of his Swift or Objective-C books? Can't quite remember.

EDIT: Or maybe even just a hastily typed example code
