What if the workshop grows into a factory? Then you have people walking into the gigantic tool closet, overwhelmed by all the tools they'll never use when they just want to find their wrench. I don't think metaphors really help here and it's mostly a matter of consistency and tooling. Instead of having to guess who uses a function or where it originates from, my editor gives me "go to definition" and "find all references". I also have "go to symbol", which allows me to search for classes or functions instead of having to browse the folder structure manually. I think it's best to optimize for the advanced tools we have to inspect a codebase instead of manual browsing and aesthetics.
