Hi Stef,
Certainly. If you want to ship ready-made tools that hide the Pharo
environment, then the whole Pharo IDE is out.
Cheers,

For the second one I can understand that GT is part of the "Moose" now we
when we sell tools to clients
GT is simply out!
So we will maintain a Moose infrastructure configuration because this is
too important for us.

Hi all,
Just some pro’s and con’s of the GT Toolkit from a commercial point of
view:
*Pro:*
The toolkit is way ahead of the other tools.
The toolkit is well maintained. Bugs are fixed pretty quick, once located.
The tools can be expanded quite easily. This is a key advantage, and now
causes more people to work on the tools. And we need more people working on
the development environment ...
*Con:*
GTDebugger has been unstable (had unstable features) a few time the last
couple of months. One can notice there is development going on here.
The tools, especially the debugger, needs a bit getting used to.
To be honest, this is not much different from Pharo itself. One can
notice there is development going on, and from time to time something
critical breaks. Since the debugger, inspector and system browser are such
a key tools, one probably notices this a bit faster when it concerns one of
these tools.
But I consider that development is going on in those key areas a good
thing. I must admit that I reverted to pharo for the moment, but I plan on
going back once the moose tools are a bit more stable again.
So yes, I agree with Doru that these tools should be a default part of
moose. This is the only way to get enough users for these tools. And I do
not want to get stuck with the old things, that maybe work reliable, but do
not improve any more.

I am not convinced you read the whole mail :). So, just to make sure,
here is the snippet for you again (which is how things are done in plain
Pharo code - no Moose magic involved):
EyeInspector registerToolsOn: Smalltalk tools.
SpecDebugger registerToolsOn: Smalltalk tools.
Workspace registerToolsOn: Smalltalk tools.

So you mean that we cannot have our old tools?
Ok now I know what I have to do.

At this moment, GT primarily means:
- Playground
- Inspector
- Debugger
(Metaceller was never a subject to debate, so I will not address it here)
The Coder will likely follow but first in a different format than one
expects. Namely, it will appear first as a code editor inside the inspector.
GT is neither a whim, nor is it experimental. GT is a long term
project. For example, the inspector was incubated for more than 4 years,
and it is time to work with it and evolve it based on real-life experience.
It is true that sometimes it is still moving but that is because it is
alive :). Yet, the functionality is there, and if there are issues they
should be treated as such: report them and they will be fixed.
Now, the main reason why GT is not optional for the main Moose
distribution is that, as I explained one year ago at the MooseDay, Moose
will provide the IDE. First, we need a new IDE in Pharo and I think we have
cool set of concepts and the Moose engines are perfect for it. Second, when
analyzing data from XML structures, plain files, DB, or even Pharo objects,
the Inspector is cornerstone. And so is the Playground. As for the
Debugger, I will remind you that it comes with working dedicated debuggers
for PetitParser, Glamour, and Announcements. These alone make it worth the
effort when developing Moose-based solutions.
Not to mention that we are building something that is ridiculously
small for the power it harnesses. We should not stop this because we find a
couple of bugs along the way.
For all these reasons, GT is here to stay.
Cheers,
Doru
p.s. Btw, the development of GT is not reserved to a closed circle. We
would like to invite anyone interested in participating in the development
of GT.
p.p.s. Of course, because this system is properly engineered, it can be
safely replaced by the default tools:
EyeInspector registerToolsOn: Smalltalk tools.
SpecDebugger registerToolsOn: Smalltalk tools.
Workspace registerToolsOn: Smalltalk tools.
