I upvoted the previous post because the post author makes a valid point about excessive parenthesising being confusing.

However two things make parenthesising easier: one, taking advantage of editor features that highlight the matching paren (Emacs does this wonderfully, and I've no doubt that other editors do this as well); two, the knowledge that things can sometimes go very wrong when precedence is just assumed.

I tend to use more parens that most people.. that's not to say that sometimes I will rely on operator precedence from time-to-time. Although that got me recently when I incorrectly assumed the precedence of the ? : ternary operator.

Code readability is always important, and if parens are clogging up readability, then indentation and splitting an expression over several lines isn't such a bad thing either.
