Hi--
(It makes me angry that I can sometimes feel more productive writing Ruby in Emacs than in Squeak/Pharo! Why can I not have BOTH a world-class text editor AND live in an image (when I choose to)?))
This is why I want Coral.
  Another approach is to just make Smalltalk appear as an entire filesystem. Then any editor can speak to it like any other hard disk. For an example (using WebDAV), see [1].
You'll recall me threatening to write an IntelliJ plugin to display such a filesystem, a while back. But I think such a plugin would be missing the point. What I want is to be able to see a lot more source on my screen than one method at a time. Do you remember the Whisker Browser a few years ago? It let you view and edit multiple methods at a time, across multiple classes. That was pretty neat. frank
