Care to explain why this is considered bad? I don't see anything wrong
with this.

Experientially, we see it a lot in #xmonad from beginners combining stuff together with a certain amont of cargo-culting (being beginners and usually quite unfamiliar with Haskell).

I've been moving toward using ($) to separate logical "phrases" and (.) within the phrases, to make it easier to see which things go with which.  Since layoutHook is rather agglutinative, this helps a lot.
