I hope you've seen CodeBubbles[0]... Wouldn't it be better something like that? If you want to see more than one method (understandable situation), you open multiple "method views" and that's it. Seeing a whole class as a file doesn't solve much of the problem: nothing guarantees the methods you want to see are toghether in "the file", and nothing guarantees the methods belong to the same class... Maybe just decoupling the method pane from the rest of the browser (and providing some popping-out mechanism to have multiple method panes at the same time) could help?

Well, me! One thing that would make my life considerably easier is a MessageSet-like browser that "flattened" the methods, so they were displayed one above the other - simulating a text file, in other words. So many times I want to look at how a set of classes implement some method.
