Let me respectfully disagree: I used to work for a company where I was
responsible for productivity of hundreds of developers. If I would've
introduced a change where they have to do 5 mouse clicks instead of 1 -
I would be out of job the next day.
Btw, eclipse has tabs, last time I checked it was one click to switch a tab
(even a key binding I bet), so really it's irrelevant where it is in terms of
how many clicks it takes to edit the file.
A tab requires something to be first loaded into it, and - unless you
keep all your files always open, you'll have to navigate to it first. I
tend to keep only related files open and clean the mess from time to
time, so necessity to click through to the messages when i need to
add/modify them by far outweighs any advantages of separation. Which are
yet to materialize in this discussion. The filtering one: honestly - how
many developers filter their messages? And if majority don't - then it's
not a pattern to be automated; I don't argue the filtering of real
property files here. :) ?
