There are only two instances I like know if something is an interface or 
class.

The first is when I am defining it, for some reason I want to tell the 
whole world, "Hey I'm building an interface here so be sure to include 
these." Which really isn't important.

The second is when I want to find its definition. Hmmm, should I be 
greping for /class Window/, /interface Window/, or /struct Window/

Otherwise the distinction has been pointless.
