To me it's a bit like formatting any document nicely.. we wouldn't usually let paragraphs run into each other, and I think in general it can be helpful to split up long blocks of anything into concept-sized chunks whenever possible for easier reading! (I think of this as a type of weird antialiasing)
Makes sense to me. The annoying thing with Go is that every end of line that doesn't have a brace gets a sort of virtual semicolon added, to make it easier for the programmer, so Allman style is forbidden, since it would mean that the previous line gets a semicolon appended. I guess that also means you can't split statements across multiple lines like you can in other languages for readability :/
