I don't like an app that does not ask for my confirmation , because I tend to do a lot of stupid mistakes along the way and I want to be able to fix everyone of them even before they happen. Please don't remove that, that would be reason enough for me to stop using Pharo.��

for stupid mistakes, there's (or should be , if missing) - undo.

Another recipe: just don't make mistakes :)
��

Undo also wont do, because I dont always realise my mistakes until much later on.

sorry.. but then perhaps you should find different occupation? :)

computers (and software systems we writing) will never be smart enough to predict or prevent you from doing mistakes. putting 'are you really really sure?' popups everywhere doesn't helps but just serves as a distraction.. because at certain point, your reaction on these popups become completely mechanical and just cost you extra time and no cognitive load only a distraction.

at the end, it is just silly: the point is that i am always sure about things i do, when interacting with my computer. if i'm not, i simply don't (or i save and then proceed with caution).. and in any case, i don't need stupid UI asking me about things i already decided to do (yes i am sort of man, who disables file deletion warning, if it provided).

��

when you pushing gas pedal in your car, or brakes, are there also popups which freezes your feet and asks to press yes or no before proceed?

because wrong decision could cost you much more - your own life.

And having to undo all my work to fix a stupid mistake is a nightmare. The only thing that would make sense for removing confirmation dialogs is editable action history. Take a look at Photoshop. Some 3d apps also have something similar. ��Every action is recorded at a history ( a list) and there is a gui that allow you to remove individual actions without deleting or affecting other actions. Very cool stuff.��

that what we did with Ben: there is navigation history, where you can find unsaved changes. but people prefer popping up red herrings instead.

and we did that with Ben, but then people turned their nose against it and rolled back the change.

I still have these un-interact-able pop ups following me around endlessly
when I have unaccepted edits in Nautilus. It seems intermittent. Not sure
how exactly to reproduce�� Anyone else?

b.t.w. the secret seems to be to bring up halos on the pop-up and clicking
the (x) halo. Trying to click its buttons only makes it angry
