Yes, that is true, but with other environments like .Net, Java, or PHP, there is a directory structure that helps you out. Not true on i. Just a flat structure, with potentially multiple source files if one is inclined to break things up a little bit. However, mostly 1 source file is used per language rather than per "application area". So in other environments I can navigate to /app/customer/controllers/ and I see a handful of source files. Easy to find stuff, I don't even really need to spend a lot of time remembering the name of the object. With i, I have to sort through the 1500 source members in QRPGLESRC, or maybe it is 250 source members in CUSTSRC. Then I have to find the right source file, or wait while the filters find all the objects. Yes, I know what I am looking for, but I prefer just having the 5 or 6 objects I am working with there for me.

I don't think size of i related apps would be a problem...
Have you looked at the #line of code involved in a .NET or Java app? :)
SVN handles those just fine.
