Definitely. If we take Amber for example, how is Amber interesting? To me it is about being able to build "HTML5 stuff" in Smalltalk but also "in a Smalltalk way" which means interactively in a Smalltalk "live" IDE.
So is Amber the end-all-final-solution? Of course not! But it has its "niche" and coupled with Pharo on the server side etc, it gives us a new very interesting "Smalltalk all the way" application stack for the web.
this is why we will have fun when nicolas arrives to lille to work with us :)

PS. Inspiration is everywhere - for example, in Amber (just to pick a source of inspiration) the "senders of" and "implementors of" is the same button: "references", and it then shows both senders and implementors at the same time. Simple, trivial and quite nice.
Did you notice that in pharo Cmd + M also work on classes since long time ago and Cmd+ N also :) ?
