Re: [Esug-list] Few thoughts about Google Summer of Code

Its not just appearance Andres, it's the complete User eXperience: intuitiveness, ease of use, productivity, fun factor as well as the look and feel. A lot of progress has already been made in this area, but there is still a long way to go because most Smalltalk IDE's have not evolved that much since the 70's ... that's probably part of why Smalltalk is being treated like a black and white movie :)

But see, I'm already sold, so I just don't see the point :)... IMO, we will make the most progress in this area by concentrating our efforts on the difficult problems. It makes me happy to see people concerned with how to make an image from scratch, for example. Andres.
