I try to use line breaks instead, it only took a little getting used to

  for x in 1 2 3
  do if [ x -eq 2 ]
     then frob x
          more_stuff
     else dont
     fi
  done

I did that at university around 30 years ago. I think nowadays 1TBS is much more common.

Yeah, I use 1TBS and cuddled elses in Scala/Java/C++, but adding a semicolon to do it with a keyword feels like arguing with the grammar.
