Good question. I struggled with that. For now, the 2 outline views give me the 
option of hierarchy should I need it ... 

Releases / milestones / iterations
Features / tasks

But to your point, browser semantics are an option if my design is going to 
confuse the user.

Is Xcode worth considering here? Tap a class file and you get details about 
that class in the right pane. Open a XIB ... Tap something in the XIB and the 
details pane changes to reflect the XIB selection, not the file anymore. Same 
goes for core data modeling while creating entities.

Does that not demonstrate a potentially fine way to build user facing software?

Thanks,
Luther
