While I agree that almost everyone uses IDEs when doing C#

then I'm not sure about this folder thing.

I've been shocked many times when seeing Java repos that they have like 5 empty folders nested just to have 3 java files. I don't see that in C# world.

>it makes reading the code stupidly hard, unless you download and load into an IDE or something like GitHub with essentially a web IDE. so anyone used to just a normal editor like Vim or similar is basically out of luck.

What does "normal editor" even mean?

Shouldn't "normal" be dictated by market share? so VS Code, Notepad++ according to SO Survey 22

This is because Java ties the package path to the filesystem, and C# does not tie namespaces to file paths. Typically in C# codebases you'll see the layers implemented as separate DLL projects.
