I don't like Eclipse myself, I do like the new icons. We can definitely "steal" some ideas from Eclipse. One I liked was perspectives, which are windows layout setups. I also don't like that pharo has poped up windows and I prefer Eclipse approach of more like docked windows. So we can definitely takes some good ideas from Eclipse and unite them with the good ideas of Pharo , while leave Eclipse bad ideas out.
about elastic fonts, I am not against it, as long as it does not complicate things up. I can't say I have an issue reading pharo code. For me managing multiple windows is far more bothersome problem. The question as always whos the one that will implement it ? Because its one thing to like it, another to implement it :D Marcus Denker-4 wrote > On Oct 15, 2013, at 8:31 AM, Pavel Krivanek < > pavel.krivanek@ > > wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> the issue that sets the new Pharo 3.0 look&feel uses a monospaced font >> for the code.
