While such code is not always easy to read, I have to agree with Philip.

For maintainability, the worst program I ever worked on had just a single
function - main() - but it ran like greased lightning which was the main
requirement! Formatting it nicely with 'proper' functions reduced its speed
by almost 15%.

I now tend to avoid using lots of functions...
