Well, not everybody is interested in all code (but only in some interesting fragment) so one knows that part. Others do need a full overview over complete sources - these simply know the sources like their spoken language's vocabulary. See - it's not looking at sources for some weeks. It's looking at them for five or ten years. > Are there any special tools or development GUIs for the kernel? ctags may help, as well as LXR (to grovide a hint for non-expert googlers: http://lxr.linux.no/ ).
