It's not that bad... there was *one* mail suggesting that Pharo is "too" buggy (for what?), whereas in general people have expressed positive experience.

The only thing we can learn from this is to improve our communication, so that people don't have wrong expectations. In the current case this means to not only suggest people to move to Pharo but at the same time to say that we are still in an alpha phase. Like this nobody will be disappointed and wrong criticism can be prevented (or at least ignored). The web site will also help to make things like this more clear in the future.

But I really wonder how people came to the idea that any and each small interation of pharo needs to be bug-free...

This reaction of the Squeak community to destroy anyone who dares to make a small mistake (and even calling this a mistake is a stretch) is very strange. One thing to learn in the Squeak community: Talking is good, Doing is bad. I only wonder how one will have a future with that kind
of attitude.
