Actually the content of my one big file is made of "sections" (I wrote a tool to extract them, http://simpliwiki.com/sections.html)

"Search" is my friend to move around in my one big file.

I think of it like a the same shift introduced by Google Mail with their "label" thing. At the time it was quite disturbing, we used to classify mails in hierarchical directories. Nowadays, when I want to retrieve a msg, do I navigate a directory structure? No. I just "search".

Same for source code.
