 Replying to [comment:20 MikeSchinkel]:
 > Please don't. Deep directory structures are a real pain to deal,
 especially when you are talking about a small number of files like with
 most plugins.

 But then, you and I mustn't be dealing with the same plugins on a day to
 day basis.

 > That said, struggling to find classes is a problem I never see. What
 editor do you use?  Doesn't your editor give you tools to find classes
 easily?

 Textmate, and it does.

 Let me put it this way, though: my main customer at the moment is running
 a nuclear wasteland comprising of ~80 mostly forked plugins and four
 themes due to hard-coded references and child themes all over the place,
 none of them up to date, with a grand total of ~8000 files full of buggy
 spaghetti code.

 It's not pretty, and the first thing that came to my mind was -- duh! --
 to drop WP entirely and rebuild his entire site on top for a sane PHP
 framework and Postgres.
