We need a better-than-git Smalltalk thing :)
yeah, we need a lot of things. But who will put the bell on the cat's neck? just dreaming of what we *could* have will make us never have anything... is not that horizons are bad, they are needed to show the path to follow. But not to accept the small improvements in the name of some super-goal we are never close (because, of course, horizons move constantly) is prone to immobility.
Honestly, in that particular case, I really had the feeling for some time that Pharo had chosen the super-goal instead of the incremental improvement. It changed with the focus on libgit2, luckily :) If I want to troll again :):) (beware) I'm interested by the Nautilus vs OmniBrowser decision. I have an hypothesis that this decision has value for anything looking like a Moldable, Glamour-based, Browser . Because in my mind, the OB gui framework and Glamour are along the same lines, and the OB GUI framework was missing something which pushed Nautilus forward[1]. So, for those who have used OB and Nautilus, or are using Squeak (where OB is still in use) and Pharo, what do you think?
