Exactly!

This is precisely the way we should look at tools: we should identify why we need that tool, but not necessarily stick with the tool.

For example, people said a while ago that the Workspace is better than the Playground for searching for things like implementors. While that might have been the case at that time, I think that use case is better served by the now existing Spotter.

It is important to understand the goal and not focus at the implementation. This is the prerequisite for inventing something new. That is why I keep on asking stupid questions like: "Why do you need this?" "When do you need this?"

Coming back to your point, I think that "note tracker" is one of the last use cases people use a Workspace for. I find this very interesting even if I do not necessarily have this requirement for myself. I think at the moment we can keep a renamed Workspace for that, but in the future we will probably end up with something else. The use case is noted in my book :)

Hi doru

I would like to have playground be named playground and that we keep "workspace" but I would like to change the name to "SimpleNoteEditor".
 Why because this is always good to have simple tools to read from? (I'm not talking about the current workspace implementation but the new one).
I would like even try to learn something from Playground implementation because the tools is more advanced while I'm not afraid to learn
from a simple tool.

I do not like the idea that we are all forced to use one single tools. We are adults.

Hi,

As you might see, the GTPlayground is called playground not workspace. The main reason for this is that workspace implies the place where work is done, and work is typically associated with creating code.

This is not the intention of the workspace.

Workspace also comes with a history that is associated with actual implementations. While the current GTPlayground might appear to be similar to the workspace, I think the way you can use the latter produces a significant shift.

Furthermore, I think the term playground is more inline with the idea of "playing with live objects". And, in the future, the implementation will likely evolve towards even more liveliness.

It is for this reason that I would prefer that the World menu item gets renamed to Playground.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Doru
