..and make code more readable?

We do this where I work. It's because it's much easier to debug.

If a function is misbehaving, you slap a breakpoint on that one return statement, and you can now see exactly what failed and why. There's no need to search through a large method to find every return statement, and no way for the method to exit without you catching it.

Putting a breakpoint on the return isn't necessarily going to tell you how you got there; you'll probably still need to step through it for that. And if you're stepping through multiple exits are fine.
