Ideally I want all three. Readability is huge, otherwise it is very
difficult to maintain and avoid bugs. Reducing line count is the least
important to me. For me the biggest thing to improve all would be to have
some way (other than code folding) to be able to see the flow of the code
without (or with) the error handling.
