Man... you still don't get it. The point is that you can't change those 1000-line functions into a well-structured/designed code. Usually you have neither time/money, nor permission to do that. The only thing you are authorised to do is to fix a bug or add few new lines to extend functionality. That's it! And given this is your reality, overusing of var makes your already miserable life (as a bugfixer of someone's else code) even worse. :)

Dave, you are completely off track. The point is the code _maintenance_ is more complex and time consuming wiht var overusing. Maintenance means bug fixing, refactoring, small changes of class implementation, etc. It has absolutely nothing to do with "code against abstractions". Looks like you've never worked on a serious large-scale business project.
