Horses for Courses. I have a host of coding paradigms that I enjoy using,
(because they increase *my* efficiency) that I have to use workarounds for
when coding in Euphoria. In other words, using Euphoria, I'm not as
efficient as I know I could be. I'm just lucky that that is still better
than using C/C++.

I do most of my commercial coding in VB. I organise my code so I can find
related routines quickly. Also, the IDE (and the MZTools add-in) makes
finding routines so simple. The key is, that routines are physically
organised according to their relationships to each other, rather than their
physical location in the source file, which can lead to totally unrelated
routines having to be located next to each other.
