This is a neat idea. I think it could be a tool that really shapes the workflow for a programmer and the way we think about writing code. Think about it: we have this loose correlation between a module and a text file. But you could conceptually put two module’s worth of concepts into one file. Or split a single module between two files. That looseness leads to code that is hard to understand and manage. If the UI you use forces you to work on one unit of the program at a time you are much less likely to create the Monster Function of Doom or 1000 modules that don’t do anything but provide indirection. I think UI usability may suffer a bit but a well designed IDE of this sort could really transform how we think about software architecture.
