Is it bad to write:

if (b == false) //...

while (b != true) //...

Is it always better to instead write

if (!b) //...

while (!b) //...

Presumably there is no difference in performance (or is there?), but how do you weigh the explicitness, the conciseness, the clarity, the readability, etc between the two?
