I don't like Eclipse myself, I do like the new icons. We can definitely "steal" some ideas from Eclipse. One I liked was perspectives, which are windows layout setups. I also don't like that pharo has poped up windows and I prefer Eclipse approach of more like docked windows. So we can definitely takes some good ideas from Eclipse and unite them with the good ideas of Pharo , while leave Eclipse bad ideas out. about elastic fonts, I am not against it, as long as it does not complicate things up. I can't say I have an issue reading pharo code. For me managing multiple windows is far more bothersome problem. The question as always whos the one that will implement it ? Because its one thing to like it, another to implement it :D Marcus Denker-4 wrote

Hi,
the issue that sets the new Pharo 3.0 look&feel uses a monospaced font for the code. It is only a coincidence that it is not set this way in the prebuild Pharo image.
technical problem, fonts are somehow resetted on the build server, no idea why.
tI have big doubts if this is the way to go. I think that proportional fonts are more natural for Smalltalk and without them the code is harder to read and not so beauty. I think that something like elastic tabstops would be much better solution. http://tibleiz.net/code-browser/elastic-tabstops.html
It's a matter of taste I fear⦠we will see if everyone is against it or not. First we should set those fonts that where meant to be set and try.
On the other way, it is only my personal opinion and if you think that the Eclipse-like look will attract more new usersâ¦
For me who never uses eclipse they just are cleaner iconsâ¦
