For sure it's in the eyes - and experience - of the beholder.

The C/C++/C# conditional operator is so useful I'd bet it's widely implemented in other languages, too. But so is IF... etc.

It could be argued that for simple cases like this the *only* significant consideration is readability/maintainability. Any decent optimizing compiler (JIT or otherwise) will probably spit out identical opcode for those two snippets.
