Good points all.

This is why I use layers to the extent I do and have done so for the best part 
of 20 years. I name my layers in a highly descriptive way and can usually 
quickly get back up to speed if I've been away from the document for awhile. In 
Layout apps, I tend to keep my layers at fewer than 10. In illustration, I use 
as many as make sense, combining layers as I go along.
