That’s a bit provocative - I think the launcher is pretty good, and helps ensure people get correct versions of things as well as feel more comfortable checking out newer Pharo’s (like 7) or other projects. I’ll admit I've blown hot and cold on it over the last few years - but I’ve come back to it, as it is a nice tool - we just need to rally around and fix it on Windows - and ideally ensure its got some tests to show if its broken. Possibly we could make the download page a bit clearer? But that’s a simple Bug report. I actually admire the drive to push things on - and now is the time to rally around together as we’ve had a lot of changes that need stabilising so that exciting things like documenter can hit main stream as well.
