The breadcrumbs discourages you from keeping your code structures as simple or flat as possible. If my code is simple, I shouldn't be needing the breadcrumbs. Also, in complex projects, still, I've never actually looked at the breadcrumbs.

I disagree, when you work ina large codebase with lots of modules, you have a lot of index.ts files, breadcrumbs definitely help with that.

But to each their own.

I've had complex projects that had many index.ts files. It was a mess. I didn't use the breadcrumbs. I prefer keyboard shortcuts to go to files. It's faster for me than hovering and clicking through deep trees of code structures. That's just me, maybe because I love Vim.
