"Our "battle" is with the non-Smalltalk world. This is what we need to convince. And that world does not care about the history of Smalltalk. It cares about how we can solve their problem. That's all." But you already offer an impressive arsenal of tools. The world can complain for several things but what it cannot complain is that Pharo as an IDE is not really powerful as a whole. Your competition would be I assume specialised tools that come as third party. There is no IDE I know out there that offers the level of refactoring of Pharo, in terms of tools and libraries. Also we should not forget that those tools are not just powerful as is the example of GTPlayground but are engineered in such way to cooperate which each other with ease. While on the other hand , tools for other programming languages are by default separate and independent and not necessarily play nice with each other which the price one pays to keep things modular and unattached to a specific language or IDE. So the way I see it Pharo already is beyond competition. Unless of course you refer to a comparison tool per tool, which mean you take this pharo tool and you compare with another tool for another language out there. That case would very difficult for you because there are tons of development tools out there. But the overall idea that is "hey there I give you a language, take this enviroment too, live coding, how about an IDE and also get these coding tools too " is really a dreamy situation already. The question is how badly coders want a very powerful IDE at least the level of Pharo.
