Hi!
Here are my bits
Since a while, the Moose 5.0 image comes with
GTDebugger and GTInspector installed by default.
These tools are already useable, but there still is a long way to go. For this, we need
feedback. So:
- did you use any of them?
Yes. I use the debugger and inspector.
The debugger has an annoying problem with Cmd-s: method does not get recompiled, but I can
live for now with pressing an icon.
The inspector is fine with me, even though I have not used it that much to navigate
between objects.
- first impression in one-two words (e.g., strange,
useless, frustrating, too white, funny, productive).
happy
- what problems did you find?
the debugger could be improved I feel. For example, consider the following screenshot:

I obtained it by evaluating a self halt in a workspace. There is not enough room for
showing the source code. And there is too much (white) room for the instance variables
Another problem is that the benefits are not obvious since I am using the tools pretty
much the same way that the standard ones. What can I get from them I think should be made
more explicit and apparent. Maybe with a help icon or something?
- what did you like?
That they work :-)
