I like .DS/.DE very much, but it isn't useful, as you correctly state,
to apply it blindly to a large chunk of code. I normally do something
like this:
.DS
logical block 1
.DE
...
.DS
logical block 2
.DE
...
mainly to avoid that code blocks start or end with a single line on a
page.
This approach works fine with both groff and TeX.
