Slogans aside, there are tools that are simply not very good.  To assume that 
what I find least offensive is least offensive to other users, or vice versa, 
is asking for trouble.

It would also help to have the browswers somehow brand themselves.  
Conversation here centers on things like O2 vs. OB, but there are at least two 
O2 browswers (package and system).

This is exactly why having both browser is confusing a newcomer. If you cannot 
choose, you don't confuse :)


I am probably most concerned about keeping the standard tool set which does 
away with the new inspector and might have other favorable side effects.

I think that group are the way to go. A group for pharo dev with OB (and only 
OB) a group with O2 (and only O2) a group with both (and this could be the 
default because most new users won't have a preference). Also, this avoid give 
any package preference over the other.

Of course, the documentation for creating a dev image, should state clearly the 
three options to build an image.

my 2 cents
