I realize I spend a lot of time organizing code into files and folders. And usually, it's organizing packages, modules, functions and classes into matching files/folders, and then updating package/module import statements. That is, it's simply a chore.

A barrier to change is our current tools such as IDEs and VCS/Github are tightly tied to the files and folders paradigm.

Though, every tool that doesn't map 1-1 with the filesystem I have always hated the experience. Think: XCode, Visual Studio. But maybe it just hasn't been done right.

What are your thoughts on alternatives? Drawbacks to change?
