Yes.

Switching from one instance variable to another with the keyboard (i.e.
doing arrow down or up multiple times) : each time a new presentation is
built to be erased immediately (well, not immediately sadly :( ).

Significantly worse when the host computer isn't very powerfull.

Simply AltBrowser loaded. There isn't much changes overall: AltBrowser is a
bit larger than the old system browser and a lot smaller than Nautilus
while providing the system browser, the message list and the finder.

It is certainly the proof Pharo provides a good infrastructure for IDE
development and experimentation :)
