Unnecessarily cramming more density into one line to avoid soft limits seems like a poor tradeoff.

Ask any typesetter. Blank space used well gives text breathing room, making it easier to parse visually.

In the former example, it is extremely easy to pick out what each method name is and a decent idea of what it does at a glance. In the latter, I have to read to even see the method names.

Ask a typesetter? No thank you.

What is a typesetter? Someone or something which takes tree-structured sentences, cranks them into a linear sequence of words, which is arbitrarily chopped into a rectangular form, with the goal being that the rectangle appear evenly gray from a distance. Sometimes ugly hyphens are inserted into the middle of tokens.
