Hi Sebastian, I feel your pain :) we are aiming to focus Pharo 4 in âmodularisation and toolsâ, to enhance what we have currently. Now⦠one of the biggest problems we have is that people is so used to the old tools that they donât even realise that we can do a lot better. And most possible some people will react violently to any change⦠but well, we will do it anyway, with your help. Letâs all together build a better IDE for the future :) Esteban On 03 Jan 2014, at 01:13, Sebastian Sastre <sebastian@flowingconcept.com> wrote:
Guys is no mystery that we have some issues with UI.
It's not so bad either, we have many things that are light years ahead of other but we consistently miss some really basic stuff from the Human-Computer-Interactcion point of view.
The community is biased towards engineering and unbalanced regarding to design so this is no surprise (why this happens is another interesting conversation).
UI is not that hard when you know what to pay attention to but we need first to decide if we care about usability and the developer experience at all.
This fantastic talk from Steve Krug exposes what's the least you can do for the usability of any software.
