Right, because, as I said, I don't think it makes sense in the source repository, to add those artificial directories. The differentiation in types makes much more sense to me.

I must admit that I've never actually used an IDE. I always found them hard to use :-) It take too much time to get used to it with too little benefit. But I like good editors, which are the center of a good IDE anyway.
