IMO thats redundant lines + more scrolling to read the code. whereas:-

if x then begin
  code
end else begin
  if y then begin
    code
  end else begin
    code
  end;
end;

involves less scrolling when its big, or when using smaller screen.
where the semicolons should go is clear
every line is functional, no redundant lines
more like one-line if
