There's nothing inherently wrong with a 200-line-long method. If the code inside is linear and keeps the same level of abstraction - it can be the best option.

There's nothing inherently wrong with a 200-line-long method. If the code inside is linear and keeps the same level of abstraction - it can be the best option. The alternative (let's say 40 5-line-long methods) can be worse (because you have to jump from place to place to understand everything, and you can mess up the order in which they should be called - there's 40! permutations to choose from).
