And I can only encourage you to do the same ;)
what you mean ? you have customised pharo for your needs ? care to share
, I am very interested :)
Well, yes, I did another system browser because I wanted to try a few
things. And it kind of grow on you when you do that, so now its mine :)
especially if, like me, you're not too successfull in promoting it ;).
It has grown to be a very significant part of what I use, because it
replace many parts of the Pharo GUI now: the finder, Nautilus, the
message/method list. And I've learned a lot doing so, like how to be
reasonable: I need a working system, not one which will be extraordinary
10 years down the road.
I need something a guy can maintain and keep in sync with Pharo easily:
done, it's only 4k lines (Nautilus is > 12k lines)... As it is a just
for me, it's a no compromise thing: just what suits me and my workflow
in Pharo and outside Pharo.
I would like to have emacs-shortcuts for all functions? Easy mate, could
do! I want different menus? Check! I want a state of the art keyboard
selection in a tree? Check! I want that browsers windows opens faster?
Check! I want to have windows smaller to better fit my small screen?
Check! I want to keep the same UI when searching / drilling down? Check!
I want to be happy with the GUI I use? Check!
All this of course is building on Pharo strengths: an easy, open
platform where building a new IDE is fairly simple (not that well
documented, however). But there is nowhere else you could imagine doing
that, apart from the Pharo and Smalltalk communities :)
