I'm with Dirk on this.  Full path would help hackability for me.

I don't use an IDE, so I'll be typing more.  But I spend more time reading code 
than typing code.

Also we have a lot of stupid in header file naming right now.  For example the 
DFG calls the JSC::DFG::Node header "DFGNode.h", and puts it in 
JavaScriptCore/dfg/DFGNode.h.  So we duplicate the namespacing of 
JSC::DFG::Node in both the filename and the directory name.  Ridiculous!  If we 
had a discipline to always include using paths relative to Source, then we 
could just rename it to JavaScriptCore/dfg/Node.h.  That would make me happy.
