While some tooling has trouble with many small files, I find it just as debilitating to navigate a huge C file for example, that mandates heavy jumping between different positions even in IDEs. Sure, I do know about multi-pane editing, but my brain prefers the “tab corresponds to file” abstraction.

Same here.

Although to be completely honest: I would much rather that the AST was the main interface for code. The fact that our tools are based on text is a relic of the past.
