Hi,

First, I am happy to see that these efforts get noticed :). This is just the most visible part of the tremendous work happening in Moose.

Then, I think it is indeed important to start approaching the problem of the direction of the IDE explicitly. Ideally, we should indeed have one strong and novel IDE. I think there is great potential there.

Cheers,
Doru

Keep in mind that we need to take care: the problem back than was that we had actually not a good situation: we developed one image, but then people used other tools
when they downloaded the final version.
This means that details never got fixed and improved: why put a lot of effort into getting the details in the browser correct if everyone will use another browser?
And that other browser did not see a lot of work, either, because it was not part of the development effort of Pharo itself.

It was actually quite bad. We need to really take care to not have that again.

And we do *not* have the manpower to manage two sets of tools anyway.
