As a pedantic proofreader, I pretty much agree. Punctuation goes inside the quotes if it's part of what you're quoting (especially when quoting speech, of course). Otherwise, it always looks like it messes up the phrase, or whatever is being quoted.
I think text is a lot less formal than it used to be, and now tends to more resemble how the language is spoken. Although based on that, a lot of people speak with mouths full of marbles.
