Ok, well let me comment about a few usablity issues.

Explorer is a heavy weight inspection book, you have it, inspect and  
don't forget  basicInspect.

When working with objects that are subclassed off of ProtoObject like  
the objective-c class I ended up with dragging lots of methods from  
Object into the subclass to support Explore.
Lastly when dealing with complex objects with twisty interconnects,  
like in a Sophie book structure Explorer would cheerfully be helpful  
and run off to visual show lots of things  likely forever...
requiring a cmd-interrupt to seize back control.

Ensuring there is a way to do basic inspect would be helpful in rare  
cases then.
