My 5 cents: I would like to have even wider capabilities to setup several dev. environments for different projects.�
For example, I see that as a browser that shows me a list of "environments" in the first panel (hiding those I don't need at�the moment), and for each of them it allows me to add packages, individual classes, methods, tests, scripts, tasks (ToDo-s), inspectors, etc � in general any tool/window/morph (parametrized, if needed)� maybe some smart objects (like searches, scripts). GUI development tools could be added as special kind of tools here.�
Extending the approach a bit further, I'd like this not to be just a single-window browser, but an endless field where I can place my "environments" and their components, link some of them together (i.e. organize them visually and semantically). Some navigation tools would be needed, of course.

That is also the one and most important point for me. I always miss my context.
Smalltalk's browser style where you need a new window for every semantic entity just does the opposite. It hides away context/invariants and does not allow my to benefit from my spacial+visual memory that helps to related to code normally.
