Why do some people shun `if`?

[Vance Shipley]

Why I find 'if' awkward is that when I test a condition for the success
path and have a fall through clause for the fail path the semantics don't
match with 'true'.

        if
             Foo == 42 ->
                  ok;
             true ->
                  {error, Foo}
        end.
