Personally, I like doing all the declarations on their own line as well. But anytime I've used JSLint in the past, I seem to recall it complaining about that. Perhaps I'm mistaken?

[masklinn → WesleyJohnson]

I expect JSLint was whining about using multiple `var` statements.

Using a single var and putting each declaration on its line is not incompatible:

    var foo = 4,
        bar = 5,
        baz = 6,
        qux = 'quux;

[ward → masklinn]

That feels like a situation that could easily end up (copy pasting something, someone adding another var, ...) in an unexpected global variable declaration.

    var foo = 4,
        bar = 5,
        baz = 6,
        sprinkles = 'wee';
        qux = 'quux';

Making `qux` global.
