When working on a project with folks who aren't using Visual Studio, the project file becomes unsynchronized pretty quickly as the rest of the team adds new files.
It would be nice to have a quick way to add new .js files to the project without going into Solution Explorer, selecting View All Files, and right-clicking each one to "Include in Project", or without editing the project file by hand (I tried glob patterns, but this didn't seem to work).
Alternatively, having Solution Explorer show all files and folders on the file system for the project would be even easier. This is how an "ASP.NET Web Site" project behaves (i.e. the file system is the source of truth) Some exceptions might have to be made for cases like the node_modules folder, but I wouldn't have a problem with the folder showing in the project view, as this is reasonable behavior for any popular text editor that can "open a folder" of files for editing.
