Ha ha ha... this made the whole thread for me!

Seriously, I think we all want the same two things:
- the system staying out of our way
- an opportunity to go back if we make a wrong decision

The disagreement seems only to be which item to prioritize *now*, while
we're waiting for a solution with both to be developed. And both opinions
are reasonable when looked at from that workflow/personality, and seem
equally crazy when viewed from the other side. The quickest compromise seems
to be making the pop-ups a setting. Here's an issue:

Case 12629: Make "discard edits" Confirmation Popups a Setting
https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?12629

Can we all get back to work now? ;)

Sean, please understand, i ranting not because there's something not works now or working not like we would like it to work.
I am ranting against approach of using modal popups as way to improve or fill gaps in UI.
I also ranting against delusion that "clever" software in some magical way can help preventing mistakes. In my opinion this is achievable only if it will prevent us from doing anything.
