Well at least for me , the one thing I don't like about Pharo is the "window hell" . Even with window groups , which by the way are a great addition , is easy to get lost and feel uncomfortable.
As I said I am inspired by emacs , I like its workflow very much and it will be great if I manage to bring even a small part of the experience to pharo. My goal is not to make something monolithic from the code perspective but offer a unified user experience. I prefer my code as modular as it can be. Emacs after all is extremely modular. At worst I would end up with a slightly more powerful workspace and since workspace is my No1 tool I use to test and try code that is better than nothing :) On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 11:25 PM, GOUBIER Thierry <thierry.goub...@cea.fr> wrote: > I'm not sure about the replacing everything at once.
