⦠but arriving to it is not so easy.
In conclusion: We are doing some right steps. It is not finished, but we are not going to go back to older way :)
Hi Esteban,
My opinion is that you're still tied a lot to the Smalltalk 80's way... Which is good: someone coming from 1980 would be able to use Nautilus ;)
My critics on that design: the tabs are nice and certainly help see that a class has a class side. Overall look is more up to date. Tabs headers, scroll bars, etc... take far too much space: work area (the code area) is 39% of overall window size, and 68% counting in the context (package, class, protocol and method) (Numbers are worse on a small window, of course, but I guess some do work on small screens).
It will be nice to see simpler / cleaner Nautilus code coming along :)
yes, of course you are right :) the GTools guys are working in a complete replacement, and Iâm sure it will be a lot better⦠but we will always need a backdoor⦠and I would like to have a good browser even as a backdoor. (also, our philosophy is incremental: we improve what we have while we wait for the break-thru improvements) Esteban ps: for me the âcode areaâ is not equivalent to the âwork areaâ: I spend much more time understanding a problem than coding it, and for that a view of the method *in the context* is better)
