Be sure you understand how the "go to file menu" works. Typing a few  
letters of a file name (and those letters do not have to be  
consecutive) will get you to your file. Say you have  
'MyImportantFile.txt" somewhere deep in your project. Cmd-T, MIF,  
Enter and you got the file!

When I know the name of a file, the "go to file menu" due to it's  
smart find feature is a lot faster than navigating through the  
drawer. But sometimes I don't remember the name of a file, but know  
it's location. In that case the drawer is the way to go.

So there definitely is an argument for both.
