I mostly agree, but I find the effort to properly format broken long lines and to maintain the format when moving code around is sometimes too much. Most editors will indent the continuation by one position like in all your examples, but that is not always what you want (for example a nested call you'd want to indent further). So every time you move the code or copy function call it has to be reformatted manually (especially if one has a slight OCD :)).
This potentially leads to people simply breaking in an arbitrary place, making code less readable than without a break.
(Last example does look better. :))
