Consider the development of programs to perform different tasks. In case, some additional features need to be incorporated into the program, the source code is opened and the necessary changes are done. For the developer, this is not an issue as he/she would have an idea of the exact location in the source code where the change needs to be implemented. For the inexperienced user, seeing pages and pages of nothing but damp blank codes would tend to create confusion.
