I agree. I'm usually opinionated about a related subject: code formatting. But I'm not too opinionated in one case, where we're using Prettier. The project is autoformatted and expects everyone else to do the same. It's so refreshing to let the computer take over sometimes, even if the end result isn't exactly what I would have typed out myself. If a piece of software could so something similar with the folders, files, and code that would be pretty great. Maybe. It seems like a much harder problem to solve than simple formatting, without introducing a bunch of bugs.
But you seem to be suggesting a different way of viewing the code, which I guess might be the way. But still underneath you'd have the spaghetti code, just sitting there not being dealt with, like a complicated Microsoft Word document.
