You can of couse use the folding feature to speed navigation between functions etc... Keypad * will fold/unfold everything...
Interesting, but it folds way too much.

yes but you can use other keys to fold just the current function, or even a while loop within a function or an if statement etc.

Its a very powerful feature and one of the reasons I use SciTe as an alternative editor to vim (vim supports folding too but its much more clunky IMHO). Using folding you can always collapse a function to fit on a single screen and focus on just the 10-20 lines that really interrest you..

But for rapid movement around files Fold All, a mouse click and then un-Fold All is very effective.

But I do agree that block level navigation seems a glaring gap in Scintilla's features as a programmers editor
