Because it's more readable? It tells you at the top that any failure will fail the whole thing, and you can avoid the prefix `&&` which reduces the effective indentation level and noise.

You can use the same spacing for the ampersands as used for the semicolons (i.e. at the end of the line).

That said, obviously there's going to be different preferences...I was more wondering if there was some semantic difference.

Then if the lines are long (as they are here) they get cut off and it's much harder to notice that they're there at all.
