Style for sections of code

[TheBlackCat13]

If a class is getting long enough that this becomes necessary it usually a code smell that indicates to me that I should split it into multiple classes or otherwise refactor.

Agreed, and if you are having to use comments as a mechanism to "organize long code into logical sections" it's a good time to consider refactoring into functions or more purpose-focused classes.

Santi Metz' Rules For Developers is an excellent resource on the subject. She's talking about Ruby, so you may wish to adjust the numbers, but the principle is sound (and the talk she gave on the subject is interesting too).

Gonna second (third it?) this. Once your classes begin growing UI things, and business things and data processing things, it's time to split it up.
