My understanding is that you are a professor. (Correct me if I'm rwong :)

"Nice names" and well-written programs are not reserved for COBOL 
programs. You can create a mess in any language. COBOL doesnt force you to 
write "well-written" applications. Or more maintainable code.

That's a matter of style. If you "nest" more than three levels
of "if-else" statements, then your logic needs to be re-investigated. I 
find it odd that you lump Algol, Pascal, C, Ada, C++ into the same group. 
Why is that?

What it all boils down to is what you're comfortable with. You should use 
the language that best fits the project or problem at hand. I work on 
projects that may require three or four implementation languages to arrive 
at the finished product.  Of course, in the academic world, you dont have 
to concern yourself with that noise :)

True, but real programs dont hover around the structure of
nested if-else's - what's the hang up on if-else's???

Not necessarily...it means that the programmer is unfamiliar with the 
territory and doesnt have the proper guidance to properly implement a 
solution. That usually comes from "one-way-street" teachers and managers.

Believe me, I have seen "convoluted" COBOL, it is not restricted to the 
"other" languages you list.

Obviously, you never really learned C++ or C or other languages you list 
to properly assess them. Better yet, you dont understand that different 
languages require different paradigms and thought processes. You can't 
possibly compare COBOL to C++ or Java or Algol or Ada or Modula-3. I 
understand what you're saying: that you cant apply Pascal programming 
techniques to COBOL. At the same time, you cant put COBOL in the trophy 
case and say other languages are inadequate.
