Even currently code isn't "immediately readable". It shows up, but until the IDE ingested the project it does not provide any features besides basic string editing, which is mostly useless.
So no new issue here.
But reading in a project would be much much faster if the IDE would just need to read a rich binary format!

I also do write code in text editors all the time. Not always - I do use IDEs sometimes. But at least half the time, I would say. I use vim a lot, and all I want there is syntax highlighting. I would hate it if I was forced to use a heavy IDE everytime I want to read/edit some source code. Also I like grepping into sources without having to run an IDE that can search through binary code.
