I agree but I also think this can be fairly easily fixed.
Add File Navigator to eclipse - done ;)
...where do I find the "File Navigator"?

I don't know if Max and I are speaking of the same thing, but I call my thing "nested view of projects".
See https://github.com/mickaelistria/jbosstools-eclipse#view-nested-projects.
I use it often, not systematically because I'm used to the working sets layout for some projects, but I find it pretty convenient to open an unknown project in IDE, browse it and to open subprojects as nested. This prevents me (and other users) from keeping in mind what's the actual location of a module in its parent project.

You'll find a link to the related Bugzilla entry. If you like the feature, please support it, add lovely messages to the bug. I would like to get it part of Platform-UI for Mars but it seems far from current Platform committers concers.
