Yes; I remember when Visual Studio was "Programmer's Workbench".
Don't think I want to go back though.

The paradigms you are holding up are all heavy on the drag-and-drop and other mousing / touching ... perhaps "too heavy" except for beginners.
Just as some prefer XAML / HTML over the designers.

Matters to me. Folders provide a way to categorize and thus group code that relates to each other while separating it from other code that doesn't.
Gurigraphics wrote: After exporting the file, what matters is mainly performance. And the performance can not be compromised by our desorganization, habits and addictions when write code.
If someone has a measurable performance problem because of their code organization when developing then my expectation would be that it is a design/architecture problem. It has nothing to do with the underlying persistence mechanism of the code.

Rather certain this has been tried multiple times before. Idioms that are successful rapidly take over in the world and continue to be used long after that. Those that do not work do not.
You might want to research past experiments which had larger market attempts to sell them to see why they failed to take off.

Currently is that so. But, I think (by practical experience with Stencyl) that if the project is organized inside the editor, that's all that matters for the programmer.
In this other paradigm, continue to use files and folders is how you prefer to have hundreds of files for the objects, lighting, shaders, colors, layers, etc, of a graphic project, rather than a single PSD file.
It is not a matter of agreeing or not. It is a matter of wanting it or not.
I explained the idea better in this text: https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=59097.0

That's not true. What matters also includes things like how you keep your code in source control, how easy it is to code review and so on. If you have one big file then reviewing changes is a lot harder than smaller, isolated files that have a single class (or equivalent) inside them. It's certainly easier to use GIT if you have multiple files, rather than one all-encompassing one.

I'm not sure you've read everything I've written about. Because what you say seems so obvious.
Imagine GIT inside a Multiplayer-Realtime-Editor, and you have an idea of what I say about external file does not import.

"Folders and files" are a convenient "mental model"; you're confusing them with reality.
The VS solution explorer is a "virtual file system" (which includes "file access" to: TFS; SVN; Git; NuGet) and which scales a lot better than "one big ball of stuff".
It parallels "outlining" as found in Word and Excel; something that "users" are also comfortable and familiar with.
I sometimes have flashes of deep insight into some "new" thing; but they go away after the effects wear off.

That's what I said.
How many enthusiasts have you collected so far?

Without a prototype I collected only criticism: It's not worth it, the images are MS-DOS, VS is better, nobody needs it.

If "graphics" is the only thing that is holding you back, there are plenty of FREE tools to make things more "shiny":
Paint; Paint.NET; Gimp; POV-Ray; MS Blend; etc.

The graphics was just a rough draft.
These days I found ready a part of what I need. And much better than I could do.

That's why any good editor provides some kind of macro-functionality*.

You're better of ASKING a programmer what interest them.
Gurigraphics wrote: You do not need of a dumbsense or keyboard shortcuts that you do not remember or even know exist, nor do you need to be consulted documentation at all times to do simple things.
I don't need those in VS. But for complex tasks, the keyboard shortcuts that I know make me a lot more productive than anyone in notepad.
Gurigraphics wrote: And the goal is to find a middle ground between written and visual programming.
If you were trying to improve the current state of affairs, I'd be enthousiastic, but you've already picked a solution without checking whether it will fit the problem.
Is written information suddenly non-visible information that you feel the need to specify "visual programming" as a separate entity?

Brilliant text-editor, but not a IDE.
Gurigraphics wrote: Yeah. The same problem solved by Stencyl, Scratch, Google Blockly, Game Maker, Unreal Engine and others visual editors.
Problem is that those were not more efficient 'solutions' than the already existing ones.

In many ways they are more efficient. But, as I said, I'm not interested in comparisons, better and worse, and that kind of teen discussion.
P.s: That answer was for another question. This forum is lag.
