I prefer the operators at the start because the start is less jagged, so the operators don't get spread out so much and stand out more.

Usually I only put them at the end of a line in languages that do implicit line endings, and will false-positive when you move the operator to the next line (i.e. javascript and visual basic).

Javascripr lets you put the binary operators in the next line if you want. It won't insert a semicolon there:

I would say that the most common problem is having a semicolon not being inserted if you start a line with `(` or `[`. In practice, the only time when a semicolon gets inserted where it shouldn't is when returning an object literal.

Jshint still complains about it even though it's technically okay.
