Hi, In my opinion, Pharo provides the strongest infrastructure for understanding a system from all technologies I have seen. So, if you say that Pharo is a bit "under featured in, then I think we are not referring to the same thing :).
May I ask how you are using the inspector? For example: - do you extend the inspector? - do you construct visualizations about your system in the inspector? - do you write queries about code in the inspector?
