Arduino IDE Sidebar

Hello everyone!

I'm looking for a solution to one problem i have with the official arduino IDE:

The IDE is ok for small projects but when you start writing bigger code you want to have some structure to it. this can be done with the tabs. again its ok if you only have 3-6 tabs but after that it starts getting ugly.

so i started looking for some alternatives like eclipse, embedxcode, sublime text and vim but so far i didn't get satisfied.

Did anyone of you run into the same problem and did find a solution?

I thought of something like a sidebar where you could have a filehierarchy or something like that. do you feel me?

sincerely
