Because if I'm looking at FooView I'm also looking at FooViewController and 
FooModel, and related class BarView, BarViewController, and BarModel, or maybe 
refactoring several sibling classes so that their common code is in their 
parent, which requires seeing all the related methods at once to tell what's 
common and what's not.

I've been doing OOP longer than NSAnything has been around. Any non-trivial OOP 
system has lots of interconnected parts; being able to see all those parts is 
essential.

(BTW, I'm not bitching about XCode4 anymore. I'm just not using it.)
