Hi Marcus, Could you explain these comments? I really don't understand. I have not used the omni browser, but I find the package browser to be very useful. I use Monticello to organize my code so having the package centric view makes sense to me. I use Package as a starting point and the Hierarchy mostly when I find what I need.
What are you major concerns with Package Browser? What part seems like a hack to you? How does Omni deal with those issues?
