Should I use `!IsGood` or `IsGood == false`?

Question

I keep seeing code that does checks like this

if (IsGood == false)
{
   DoSomething();
}

or this

if (IsGood == true)
{
   D

I've seen the following as a C/C++ style requirement.

if ( true == FunctionCall()) {
  // stuff
}

The reasoning was if you accidentally put "=" instead of "==", the compiler will bail on assigning a value to a constant. In the meantime it hurts the readability of every single if statement.
