Since this is a C# thread, there are a number of ways to navigate through the interface to the implementation in Visual Studio: 1. Right-click, Go To Implementation (Ctrl-F12) 2. Right-click, Find All References (shows the interface and impl) 3. (Resharper) Navigate, Dervived Symbols (Alt-End) Even the new method info in Visual Studio 2015 (2013 Enterprise) is able count and show you the usages as a tip through the interface. I don't experience any issues with this pattern; the tooling is built around it.
