Thanks for the reply. Please do not feel attacked in any way by this, but you have beautifully illustrated my point: I am not asking to put method in multiple *packages*, I am asking to free categories to do what they *should* do, which is tag methods in ways I find useful. PackageInfo (not to denigrate it), has completely hijacked the concept - actually, the Squeak community failed to add state to allow it to operate independently of categories.
Ok. It sounds kind of like how Craig changed this in Spoon. He got rid of Catogories altogether. In spoon, there are modules, which are a collection of methods. Attached to each method is a number of tags. One usually wants to browse by tags, but one can browse by modules too.
I really wish I could try out Dolphin and VW and see what I am missing, but they don't run on linux.
