Discussion on: I've never become overly convinced that switch statements are that much cleaner than `if else if else if else if else`

Personally, I oppose switch statements because they force you to opt-in to break rather than breaking by default (i.e. use continue for fallthrough). I feel like every time I write a switch statement I forget a break on one of the cases. Then, I'm stuck exposing that fallthrough case during testing. In contrast, you don't really get that same ambiguity with if/else if/else.
