Pharo?)
Lots of tiny things, resulting in presentations not looking very good.
I have done a lot of workshops with glamour based browsers, integrating
(visualization) exercises in the glamour browser just mapping them to
methods. It works well and is easy to do. And the font metrics were not
correct, not supporting ligatures and kerning. There was a lack of
support for adding media in an easy-to-distribute format, no support for
multiple monitors, no HiDPI display support, bad support for rotating
text and scaling without artifacts. And in Pharo the continuous change
resulting in each workshop needing fixing each time I gave it, and the
lack of widespread morphic knowledge and slow and slightly uncoordinated
removal of features that were seen as unmaintainable and or not used.
So I'm very happy that finally a lot of the things I've been waiting for
are now coming together and I can switch to the easier problem :)

I use thunderbird and news.gmane.org to avoid that.
