Personally I think this is where IDE developers are getting away with being 
lazy. Rather than abstracting the file system away from code and letting the 
user choose to see code at a class level or module level (so we work with 
code on its abstract concepts) they just open a file. Yes they offer tools 
to let you jump around the file to types you want but then you spend time 
looking for the line of code you want before you jump back to another type 
and find that line again (unless they offer line bookmarks). With multiple 
files you can have both types open and leave each file at the 2 lines you 
jump between. On the other hand though what happens if I am in a single 
large type and moving between 2 methods? The same problem again. IDEs should 
be fixing this for us.
