So guys, you do not want Xtreams (and prefer to use Streams that have been "designed" decades ago) ;D ?
no bootstrapped core (clement you do not want to have a mini image :) ? and a new UI frameworks?

I personnally want to have new widgets, a real UI builder and massively cleaning Spec.
Now I would like to have multiple tool sets -�� I understand that people like the new debugger (I do not like it) -��
I want the possibility to have a mini tools tool set.

If you want to clean Pharo you can start cleaning Komitter stupid use of state pattern generating
a lot of garbage instead of having a single animated morph.

We should clean Versionner- I have the impression that half of the classes are not mandatory.

Not exactly related to Announcement, but I remember when I first port
DrGeo to Squeak (at that time Pharo did not exist) I used a lot of
change/update when objects in the canvas changed. It was terribly slow,
and later opted for a top-down update in the list of object.

So some sometime what look like a cool stuff (decoupled objects) is just
a drag.

Regarding optimizing, I share my opinion here months ago, I think Pharo
need consolidation releases: no new features, only bugs fix and speed
improvement. There are enough new features in Pharo for a couple of
years, but the product need to *be* solid and *feel* solid.
