In a fullscreen window the symbols list fits about 50 items on screen. I'm not sure how things are in other domains, but I'm an embedded C programmer by trade and it's not at all uncommon to see files with a couple of hundred symbols in them.
I often find myself hunting up and down the list thinking "there is a function for this, what was it called?? it had event in it's name..." On my previous editor I hacked the symbol list plugin I was using to have a filter at the bottom of which worked ok, but the interface was never as easy to work with as the jump in xmms.
