If the bags are well-organized, leaving pieces in the bags is just a way of
pre-sorting everything.  My least favorite approach to building is to make • a
big pile of pieces, and go for it.  Occasionally, I'll dump everything, and
then sort it into a neat layout -- line up all the 1x4 plates, and all the
wheels, and so on.  But usually I will either leave the pieces in the bags,
or

.....................

dump each bag into its own pile.

This sounds acceptable to me, but, are you really patient enough to
line-up/sort all the pieces before starting to build your "long waited, most
wanted, newly purchased, lovely nice thing"..:-D

I'll do it sometimes.  Often I don't have time, so I want to move quickly.
Also, if I know I'm not going to be able to finish in one session, I'll need to
be able to put everything away neatly.  Which is another advantage of leaving
everything in the bags.

Doing a complete sort is good for my sons, because they can handle sorting the
pieces and they can handle building the model from the sorted pieces.  But they
often get frustrated looking for pieces when the parts are in one big pile.
