One point about taking those into account is to get a full Resourcetree view. Even if development and synching between FS and Sling is just enabled on the repository layer (and propably mounted bundles) It think it would be really important to have at least optionally a complete view of the resourceTree and not just the repository tree. A node might then link the files/classes that handle this resource (and some options to see sling components that might act for specific selectors or extensions).
