- It goes from "larger to smaller". You parse the line with your eyes and immediately see where things are coming from. With `import {x} from module` you have to do a double-take on what comes from where.
- If you use any sort of code assist, you get to autocomplete immediately when you hit `.` With Javascript's weird thing you have to first type `import {} from module` and then go back to {} to invoke the autocomplete. This is especially infuriating when you don't really remember the name of the thing you're importing.
Even PHP's approach makes sense compared to Javascript's:
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\ChoiceType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\DateType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\EmailType;
