"A one line solution takes up very little visual real estate. That matters a lot when you are working on some more complex problem."

When I work on some more complex problem, I like to think about the problem, not spend energy decoding condensed text. Scrolling a bit more verbose, but clear code, is faster for me.

I think the difference is not a bit of scrolling, but rather the whole program on half a page vs 10 files à 200 lines of mostly noise
There is noise and there is self explaining code. One liners for complex problems are a nice challenge, but are seldom clear to read.
