Yeah, there's just no magic bullet: a single file with all the code is easy to ctrlf but context disappears. Multiple folders mimics hierarchy and dependency but can easily mismatch control structure or circularity of flow.

What might help is a LLM that could seamlessly create various overlay files which would be editable allowing for differing usecases eitger project determinative or coder preferences.

IDEs try to do this but the success of vscode suggests theres space for multiview editors.
