When you can’t easily jump from file to file and get intellisense like completion you are forced to design modules and data models which can fit inside your head. I imagine this can be a feature in some cases and a limitation in others.
I tend to only use an IDE when refactoring, and a text editor for everything else. So far I haven’t had to write or work on code which I can’t keep all in my head; maybe I have just been lucky with the codebases I have worked on?
