I don't mind it, but to me it begs the question of what it offers over:
self = [super init];
if (self) {
My rationale is, generally you avoid assignments within conditionals because
it's just plain awkward. The if (self = [super init]) pattern is a rare
exception, that is justified purely by convention at this point. If you're
going to break that convention, and increase the verbosity to boot, you should
probably just revert to fundamentals - i.e. treat it like any other assignment
and test.
