My suggestion is to add an option to switch between if then & if <> then else block in the drop down menu when right clicking the blocks, much like how you can switch between the arithmetic blocks: http://i.imgur.com/CIxNiyd.png

Here's the mockup of my suggestion: http://i.imgur.com/zihF2lW.png
PROS:

• Would make using scratch much more convient intuitive and would be really useful since this is an extremely common block
  

• Would be an unobstructive addition
  

• Would not be difficult to add in
  
  

CONS:

• none
  

Support if you'd like this to be added in

Support, because it always takes ages when you realise you needed an else clause, and so you have to drag the condition out, then all the blocks inside, then delete the if <> and drag in the if <> else block, then drag the condition back in, then all the blocks back in. It takes about 15 second of (wasted) time. And it happens to me a lot. If something similar to the operators block was added, where you right click the operation, and you can switch to another operation without dragging out the inputs, that would be amazing.

Duplicate of this.

No Support. The workaround isn't too hard. It takes about 10 seconds.
