have hundred or thousands of files in their projects want this

The upper part of the Groups & Files list shows all the files that are
a part of the project. Not every file is in every target; some files
even go into _no_ target. Project membership is simply a matter of
being able to refer for your own use to that file.
BUT: Every file that goes into a target must be a member of the
project. There's no escaping having such files in the project group of
the Groups & Files list.
But you don't have to have a flat list of project files. You can group
them. Groups are shown in the G&F list as yellow folders. These do not
(necessarily) correspond to directories in the file system; they are
_solely_ for your convenience.
Create a new group by selecting Project > New Group, ⌥⌘N. Name the
group. Drag files into the group. Or, select the files you want to
group (the ⌘ key is your friend), and select Project > Group,
⌥⌘G. Something in the Groups & Files list has to be selected for
the commands to be available, which is a minor annoyance.
Voilà: A shorter Groups & Files list.
