A good IDE makes it very easy to navigate through files like that. You navigate to functions, structures, variables, etc... instead of files.


That's nice until it breaks down, besides doesn't help much if you have 2400 lines long functions ( cbMainWindow ) that mixes Win32 API drudgery with indentation logic and SQLite fiddling.

Sure it's an cute and to-the-point codebase, but even if I have experience with using these API's I'd never volunteer to work on this codebase because it's obviously also one that's a creation of the authors memorized experience.
