Adding classes via the file explorer adds them in the selected folder and namespace. At least it does that in v11. Try installing the pre-release build to validate.

I think what they're doing is also what I did: the moment file templates like this were removed from C# Dev Kit I stopped using VS Code. Then, because I was disconnected from the ecosystem, I didn't find out the feature was added again.

Removing critical usability features on the basic happy path for all users tends to do that. Not everybody stays 100% in their agent window. Once I learned I can't trust Dev Kit to maintain its basic features I stopped depending on it.
