I had a colleague who wrote long functions like that. Over time I came to think of him as an inconsiderate asshole. Unfortunately he was me a few years earlier. I gradually learned the value of organizing code in short sweet methods. When that style become old code, I and my other colleagues came to like that crusty old coder better. I also thought it was a matter of cognitive style but for me it turned out to be inexperience.
