Yeah, sorry, but having had to try and work with 10,000 line Java classes, I still disagree. (And don't even get me started on some of the abomination .jsp files I've encountered!)

Maybe there's more whitespace and boilerplate in Java, but it's just as possible for lazy programmers to not split their code into modules, or write horrible spaghetti code.
