I've found that while it make individual methods harder to read, maybe, it helps with readability of the file in general. If your methods stay small and are well named, you don't need to read their internals as often, but scanning the file quickly, it's much easier to get a big picture. I used to be very liberal with line breaks, but then seeing methods as their own blocks gets harder. It's just a trade-off. Those example methods could probably use a single line break each, I'll give ya that :p
