\ linebreaks are not something I love,and a while ago I started using chained blocks..

These are usually a step between "overely complicated one liner" and structured script, and often get refactored to functions etc if the script evolves that far. But lots don't, and if I just want something readable, that also lends itself to comments etc, this works for me.

{ foo -a -b }|{ bar -c -d -e }|{ baz -e -f }

But I suspect it's not everyone's cup of tea!
