doSomethingElse( doSomething( object, a, b, c), a, b, c)

Not that bad is it? I think I like it better actually, especially if a b and c had variable names that were longer

It's a lot less readable to me.

The dot version exactly matches my thinking - take this object and transform it with parameters a, b, c and then transform the result again.

When you have an object that you apply a series of transformations to, it's natural to describe the process in chronological order.
