Minor, minor style question

Why would I prefer
string = ""
string = string + "abc "
string = string + "def "
string = string + "xyz"
over
string = "abc " + \
"def " + \
"xyz"
? I see a lot of the former in contexts I associate
with Visual Basic- or JavaScript-majority folkways.
Is there an attraction to the redundancy (and fragil-
ity!) I'm missing? Are \-s *so* deprecated?
