While this is a beautiful interface, I often read things like "traversing a long source file trying to look for a specific method’s implementation" or "sick and tired of having to scroll through a raw copy of jQuery..." and am confused. Why don't more people use their text editors' search functionality to find a specific piece of code? I never find myself scrolling through long source files.

E.g. trying to find the "height()" method is quite hard with a simple IDE search tool -- look how its defined: http://gist.github.com/291542 http://gist.github.com/291542 It's easy when they're declared as "function name(){}" or "name: function(){}" (in an object) .. or even "name=function(){}" ... but beyond that, it's simply not worth using your IDE's find tool.
