I tend to disagree.
Actually I don't happen to think of files in IDEA (at least not when I
handle java code). The Project view shows classes and packages where
java code exists, it shows Files and Directories for everything else.
It is some kind of hybrid actually, but I think it is pretty well done.
For non-java files it might make sense, but I see no case where I'd
like to copy a java file:
- if I need it for backup then LVCS/CVS is not good enough and should
be enhanced
- if I need a new similar class I should use copy class (besides from
using real OO).
Another thing that comes to my mind: Where should this new file lie?
There's no concept of a unnamed file in idea and I'd _hate_ to see that
added, 'cause it makes me pretty uneasy to know that I'm editing
something that has no physical backing store.

all of this is IMHO of course

P.S.: Could we use Netiquette here? Like quoting before the answer?
