You can't afford complicated code.

Writing small and easily testable methods can certainly clean things up, but as your application grows your classes start to know too much. Large classes means a large cognitive overhead for understanding how things work, or why they don’t.

It would be great to keep related things closer together. If this needs that to function, why aren't they right in front of your face? You might have broken things up well, but each time you search around for related code it begins to feel like a mess.

The more time you need to understand your code and keep it well organized, the more expensive your project becomes.

Taking control of your project with custom DSLs would make your code so much more expressive.
