Of course, you're going to have a longer method from time to time, but overall, the closer to the 10-15 lines limit the better. I have had a chance to modify 1000+ lines method and it is no fun. :-) I think it’s a joy to read short methods (if done well, of course), and if there was a way to force short methods I am all for it.
