Yes but in average this is really not the case.

Ok that kinds of things happens in ugly, undocumented, obsolete systems.

I'm starting to write tests for the events. Now since you are at it, I guess
that you read this wonderful code
full of hypothesis and other subtle strange behavior. So I'm quite sure that
they will be problems.
But we will fix them. Else we should stop now and do Javascript because at
least we will look cool.

We are not doing things blindly:
First it costs us money, time and we should all the lucky that Ben was
really good and enjoy rewriting us boring UI
without a decent widgets set (because he fixed them also the
multiselection and others).
Benjamin I publicly thank you for all the good stuff you did!!!!
Second, what are these 2 thirds that we lost? Because two third is a
lot. I'm dreaming to throw away two third of the stringHolder hierarCrap
Please hightlight me.
Sorry but I do not like this kind of statements because there are false and
because we work hard to bring to life
a system full of shit. Shit that was accumulated and of course stable because
it did not move since years.
In addition if everytime a guy spend 4 months to build a new tools we all
complain (without constructive points to help him fixing that)
better say to students that they are idiots and that we do not need their help.
But in that case be ready to be with the same ugly system
in the future. And we do not accept that. So there will be some glitches but we
are stronger than them and we will fix them.
Nicolas I'm quite sure that you would not say that around a beer to benjamin
because I know you so pay attention because
Ben is also one of the coolest students we got recently and we really liked his
spirit and atttitude. Jumping in StringHolder and broken/duplicated widgets
is not easy, nor it is to work on bootstrapping Pharo.
