Just surveying opinion, when pressing the 'Create' (method) button in
the debugger, how critical do people consider the need for the
Protocol Chooser at that time? Personally I find it interrupts my
flow, since often I don't feel comfortable with the conventions to
choose which protocol it should go in. It makes me go searching in
another browser to try to determine the convention from other existing
methods. A few options to start with:
1. Like it just the way it is.
2. Dump the new method in unclassified and clean up later (plus a
protocol sorting refactoring tool)
3. Having Protocol Chooser provide a short list of suggestions,
perhaps somehow indicating the rule used and weighting. For example:
"accessors (100 methods matching instance variables)" ; "testing (20
items match 'is' prefix)"".
btw, In 2.0 the Protocol Chooser came up with a massive list (actually
where this survey question stems from) but in 3.0 the Protocol Chooser
comes up empty for my use cases. Can anyone suggest an example in 3.0
that populates the Protocol Chooser?
doh! I only needed to start typing to populate the Protocol Chooser.
Now it still presents too many choices for my sensibilities.
