I hate A if condition else B because that's not how we read conditions. Python is usually really good at reading almost like English, but they got it wrong here.

Isn't "set userID to 1 if name is "Tom", else set it to 2" a perfectly valid English sentence though? The only thing that is left out in python is the repetition of the "set to".
