��� 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 I���m 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 ���code area��� is not equivalent to the ���work area���: I spend much more time understanding a problem than coding it, and for that a view of the method *in the context* is better)
