I usually avoid BLOCK constructs when I can, but even more
than BLOCKs I dislike having similar-looking code that acts
very different. So I like the BLOCK versions of grep
and map.

I do see your point.
Mine is I like to regard brackets as syntactic sugar that I only use where really necessary for perl or to highlight any hidden precedence issue. I'm so used to automatically resolving long statements right-to-left without second though that when brackets automatically are "pay attention with precedence here!" signs for me. So I find it very distracting if there's many of them, and it takes me a lot longer to break up the statement into its parts.
Once again it's a matter of taste and habit I guess - TMTOWTDI :-)
