Ramon,

+10 as we say.  However, I welcome the toys on top of the tool, as long as they go away if I choose not to play.  I would like to think that a “live and let code” attitude is what distinguishes us from “them.”

That's the attitude that infuriates me about Squeak, "toy" name, "toy" UI, and "toy" attitude.  I'm so glad Pharo was started so I can work with something that isn't a "toy" but a real professional "tool" who's name can be spoken aloud.
