Dimitris,

the case you refer to was closed on my side: I won't comment.

But there was one false quotation on your side:

> I never heard or read any pharoer to refer to Pharo as the best IDE.

I did not write that!

I referred to *Smalltalk in general* and I am deeply convinced that for o-o
development *Smalltalk in general* has by far the "best" development
environment based on objective features: It's the only one to tell instantly
all senders, implementors, locally or globally, class refs and a lot of
other things that others don't even dream of. 

BUT: I made not a single judgement on Pharo (except on it's UI for end-user
products), simply because I don't know it sufficiently.

And I agree, that Delphi was an extremely good product in my opinion
primarily for the UI. I managed a project in Delhi many years ago but I did
not code myself.

My intend for writing here was beyond asking for the status of Smalltalk to
JavaScript translators and alike to perhaps help to improve this and
possibly a few other points. 

This is primarily concerning *my mid-range plans for a much better user
interface*. My plans say that my UI will very easily support different
Smalltalk dialects simoultaneously and it will be targeting professional
business applications both in the browser and for the desk-top based on ONE
code-base.

But I am about to continue to do this ONLY in direct correspondance with
writers here. I think this is much more productive and successful than
having to fight ignorant, discriminatory and almost rasist postings from
people who hate any critical and diverting opioins expressed in
straight-forward but still correct language or who feel "insulted", because
somebody does not agree with what they have been using. Being
"pseudo-insulted" is the currently popular retorical attempt to suppress
other people's opinions.  Won't work on me!

Frank
