It is good for making OSX apps. For the rest, yeah, it is an alien creature.
And even for OSX it is not well behaved - no program should write to its own app bundle, this has been true since the OS started as NextStep in 1989. All the Application bundle should be assume=d to be in a read only state possibly on a read only drive, On reason is to allow multiple users to use the same Application without overwriting each others work. . In 10.8 and with various setups (see Gatekeeper) the applications are signed to make sure no virus or anything else alter them, I note that Pharo is not signed and so I have to disable signed checks for all applications on OSX. For OSX what should probably happen is that the image is saved to ~/Library/Application Support, either by a stub program copying the image from the app bundle on first startup or by altering the save method
Thanks for just doing it ;-)
The One-Click concept was/is cool, but it is more a barrier than a solution it seems.
Having a single download that 'just works' and feels native is very important.
Sven Where is this just working download the pharo page <http://www.pharo-project.org/home> still has the one click image.
