Typing is the least of the problems. It's the context, readability, verbosity. If you have a six dots reference that repeats several times, are you sure you'll spot a subtle difference somewhere in the 4th continuation line of the 3rd command? Neither am I. When the same thing is said in a with-end block, this subtle difference sticks out because it can't be abbreviated, and you see it right away.
