I am constantly running VS and VIM with the window split into 2 panes. Most of the time, one pane has tests and the other has the code I'm working on, but this isn't always the case. Sometimes I just want to refer to another method - be it in the same file or another file. An approach like Code Bubbles, at the very least, is a more efficient use of screen real-estate since it only displays the functions (including tests) I care about and not all of the surrounding lines.
I'm not a proponent for moving away from file-based approaches to managing code, building binaries, etc.. I would, however, love to use an editor that is more congruent with the way I work.
