 Just to be opinionated 

   if (cond1) {
      if (cond2) {
         RtnA;
         }
      }
   else {
      RtnB;
      }

Reasons:
1) Blank (or nearly blank) lines should be used as
   'visual separators' to group related chunks of
   code. (Unless you are getting paid by the line,
   of course). One rarely wants to interrupt the
   reader just after an if clause starts.

2) To my view, the '{}' after if are part of the
   contents of the if clause, and deserve to be
   indented just like the other contents.

3) Nobody else does it this way (It must be better).
