Rather than abstracting the file system away from code and letting the user choose to see code at a class level or module level (so we work with code on its abstract concepts) they just open a file. Yes they offer tools to let you jump around the file to types you want but then you spend time looking for the line of code you want before you jump back to another type and find that line again (unless they offer line bookmarks). With multiple files you can have both types open and leave each file at the 2 lines you jump between. On the other hand though what happens if I am in a single large type and moving between 2 methods? The same problem again. IDEs should be fixing this for us.
