You see for me the old "workspace" is where I type stuff that I want to keep around because in the textEditor I can do the same
but when I click they go away :)
For example I often do not care about inspecting the result of what I typed and I do not want something complex.
So to me the old workspace is "sticky" before stickies came to live. While the systemeditor provides the same execution model
it does not offer to me the same stickiness.

Hi,

Please look at the mail I sent to Torsten for a more thorough description of my reasoning. For example, I do not like that it implies that this is *the* place where work happens, and this is clearly not the case.

Yes, I use the playground extensively for so many use cases. I do not miss the Workspace at all and I do not use it since 2 years.

Cheers,
Doru

Hi Doru,

I do not understand exactly what the difference is or why you wouldn't call GTPlayground�� " a Workspace".

As I think
you are using GTPlayground�� very extensively:
Do YOU use the Workspace at all ?
Do YOU miss something in GTPlayground, where you would say: "Yes, only a workspace should do this".

Hi,

As you might see, the GTPlayground is called playground not workspace. The main reason for this is that workspace implies the place where work is done, and work is typically associated with creating code.

This is not the intention of the workspace.

Workspace also comes with a history that is associated with actual implementations. While the current GTPlayground might appear to be similar to the workspace, I think the way you can use the latter produces a significant shift.

Furthermore, I think the term playground is more inline with the idea of "playing with live objects". And, in the future, the implementation will likely evolve towards even more liveliness.

It is for this reason that I would prefer that the World menu item gets renamed to Playground.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Doru
