The counter argument is that PBE is readily available and very well written.

For new users - the blank screen is a bit intimidating, and with Pharo looking pretty good these days - I think new users are tempted to try it out - however its not easy to get started with a blank screen. I recall ages ago (and maybe this was the old Squeak image) there was a workspace with a few instructions - like the url to launch your web browser against - and a comment with the username and password for administering seaside. It's probably handy to have the url for Pharo by example as well as the Seaside online book. And finally a few doits and tips for launching a Class browser and common preferences to consider changing. I'm not sure if this is easy to do in your distribution script (hopefully it is a script) - and I also don't want to introduce anything risky into 1.0 (I am constantly anxious that some of the changes whizzing by are going into 1.0 - and stability is of the essence to get a good solid release out). But certainly it would make the initial new user experience that little bit better.
