In spite of what others say, I have never found the NASB unduly awkward, cumbersome, or been bothered by any particular Yoda language.

I have, but I think it's because I grew up with the KJV. I was so happy when the ESV came along, because the language flows better. Having said that I have a small NASB with my ESV so I can make a quick comparison.
Agreed, most of us would say the ESV has nice English, and it is an accurate CT based translation, the question is more about how "faithful" the respective translations are to the Hebrew and Greek texts, in this regard I would still say the NASB is "better" in this sense.
