Interesting news about #promptOnRefactoring. However, you are the first person involved with the RB to ever mention it to me. Â Previously, I was simply told that commenting methods is a waste of time and I would be happier and healthier if I would change my misguided ways.
Don Roberts and John Brant improved the refactoring engine a lot in 2002. I assume that there was some pressure from the VisualWorks and Dolphin folks. Unfortunately Squeak and Pharo people were stuck with the refactoring code from the last century.
 Obviously, I take a different view of it, and all the more so having recently ported a lot of aging code to Pharo; comments saved my skin yet again.  If the RB can be made to respect them, I will eagerly use it.
I think the situation is much better now, but you cannot expect magic. Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
