Having nested routines isn't a show stopper for me.  I never use them, but
tastes vary.  My objection to this is weaker than for other ideas.  My
objection is more because of the sharing of vars. which may create the
habit of doing the same thing at a higher scope.  Practically though,
it's not that big an issue to me.  I raise my one itty, bitty vote nay,
the yays may carry the day.

One another note, bloated software happens because many people like the
cool ideas and not enough people will stand against (call it apathy if
you like)  I feel the need to raise objections often just to be on the
record.  I generally don't regret my record.
