I think we should not reinvent the wheel in Pharo. I mean, Morphic is nice, although I would like to have native windows so that I can use my Mac expose features. But no, I have only one window. Then, I have something similar but implemented in Pharo using Mac + narrows.
Then, you can have more than one workspace in the OS, why we need to implement the same in Pharo ? I also have tons of image, and each image (or more than one) for a project. Why don't you use your own OS virtual workspaces and spread you different images over the different workspaces? that's easier than Squeak Projects. And maybe faster and better supported. The ONLY problem is what people said about updating issues in all images. But, : - In Pharo we have a good package management system now (Metacello). If you use it correctly, you can define all your project dependencies (even working in a core or dev image). So you should be able to load your project in any image without any problem. - We release images quite frequently, much more than other dialects/languages. So...usually you don't have to wait too much to get a new image with the fixed issue. - How many times you find an issue that affects all your projects? I don't think this is very common. Usually, when I find a bug or a problem, is not "too" core in the sense that only affects me in a particular place, but not in all my other work.
