I would kindly ask for patience. What is perhaps less clear is that this editor is in the critical path of the GT project and we are committed to deliver an editor that actually works. We are still investigating different paths, both on the low level (like with Rope) and at the higher level (like how to organize the layout).

I am not against to any new implementation of existing stuff. It is always interesting how things could be done different and especially if it provides better solution.

But I really fear that new text experiments will dramatically delay releaze of Bloc and Sparta and following migration to new UI. And this is real importance for Pharo future, and not possible moldable editor.��

Text editors are very complex domain. It takes more than year to get working TxText and Twisty. Why not finish Bloc and Sparta with minimal effort on adopting TxText or Twisty to run on them?
