Well, that depends on your coding style, really.

Personally, I prefer to write lots of small, well-defined functions.  If
I can't fit a whole function's flow into my head at once, then I know I
need to break it up.

One interesting approach to this problem I've seen is in Nemerle: it
supports both C-style syntax and, with the flip of a compiler switch,
Python-style indenting.

Mmm... cake.
