Definitely agree with this. I've re factored large C# apps, moving thousands of lines of code into different places and have had it up and running again very quickly with no bugs.
Contrast this to refactoring huge javascript or python programs because the compiler isn't going to check if what you refactored 'fits' into the place you put it. It's always very nerve racking for me when refactoring large pieces of javascript or python because even if it runs, often many bugs remain lurking that won't be found out until the unit tests are re-written.
