Of course that's a legitimate case of longer files or functions, but I found that I was generally able to follow much larger functions, so comfortable with writing larger-than-average code in general.

Also I should note that longer code doesn't mean less abstraction; it rather means that abstraction is done without separate functions and files, and ordering and visual cues can (and probably should heavily) be used instead. Apparently this is not enough for most others though, as I have received multiple complaints in spite of such readability efforts.
