Having the entire class in one text file so that you can see all of the
functionality without a ridiculous amount of clicking around is a huge
bonus.
Especially for those of us that come from a C#/Java environment. Also,
VS-Code provides a nice self-learning code completion mechanism,
so you don't lose auto-completion.
Win-win.
