Hi Linus. I like you name. I hope you know which is the best/most complete OS ;)

You asked a really complicated question. I will give you just my opinion:

OB advantages:
- It is most of the time quite stable
- It has good integration with refactoring tools (because the developer is the same -> Lukas)
- It is fast enough.

OB disadvantages:
- You don't have package support.

O2 advantages:
- It is nicer that OB
- Package support
- Cool little tools like running the test clicking in the circul and having the circul with black, green or other colors depending the running, etc.

O2 disadvantages:
- It overrides and depends of OB stuff (we hope this will be fixed)
- Sometimes I found it quite unstable. More likely the Refactoring integration
- Quite slow. This is due to the fact how packages are managed (I think) and Stef is trying to build a replace for this :)


In summary, I like more the O2 and I would like to use that, but for the things I told you as disadvantages and finished using OB.

Cheers

Mariano

This is a matter that we haven't reached a consensus yet. Some people
prefer the O2 Package Browser. This browser gives you a pretty good
feeling of a package structured image with folding/unfolding and
hierarchical views. Some may find this browser slow however.

The remaining of pharo users favor snappiness, and prefer
OBSystemBrowserAdaptor.

Cheers,
Alexandre
