When doing largescale editing changes, I much prefer the single file approach.

Things like:

+ Changing the age of a character

+ Changing the argument order for a particular function

Those aren't simple find/replace solutions that you can run across files.

You can do the same thing with multiple files, but it's slower and can be harder to hold a context in your head.
