I'm not an OS X user, but I have the impression that .app is reserved
for graphical applications, one you can start with a double click. For
me, no Pharo VM is a graphical application and thus none deserve its
.app file in /Applications.

On the contrary, what we currently call the Pharo Launcher is a
graphical application so it deserves a .app file. I called it just
Pharo.app because I didn't see any concurrence on the name and some in
the Pharo board would like the launcher to be the default Pharo download
(the one behind the big Download button on the website).

We could improve the situation by putting all Pharo VMs inside the Pharo
Launcher's .app file. Who volunteers?
