I’m not 100% sure that else is a bad thing. But I agree that using negative comparisons isn’t a terrible thing. Maybe more of a “all things being equal, try to use positive rather than negative if possible” kind of thing.
Eliminating else made my source code cleaner and faster. I use else in ternary operator only. I transformed structure if-else into ternary expression in many times.
Some languages (XSLT for example) are without "else". This inspired me.
