They are helpful if you have an expression with several clauses:

    if (a == 1 and
        b == 2 and
        c == 3 and
        ...
        x == 24 and
        y == 25 and
        z == 26):
        pass

They allow you to dispense with the otherwise mandatory trailing
backslashes:

    if a == 1 and \
       b == 2 and \
       c == 3 and \
       ...
       x == 24 and \
       y == 25 and \
       z == 26:
        pass
