I am mostly through last decade working on VW/ VA/ Pharo .. but the occasional works you do on eclipse, VisualStudio and even stuff like Gedit, etc.. leaves you with a feeling that the optional tabbed pane capability should be a package provided.

For newbies, the multiple windows is a paradigm shift anyways..

Integrated IDE with its Menu of actions, and a left side optional file browser tree, that opens all normal project files: images, code, ini, xml, etc in their custom views, plain text view or optional external editor, makes Project building a lot easier for simple projects..�

These may not of much concern to long term smalltalkers.. but it is in the corporate world.

I will check on the other morph Laurent refers to..

Hi, i wanted to comment a bit on the proposed ui.

The problem with this single-window with tab panes, is that it forces
the user to have a single focus of attention, which produces an
overhead in navigation for those programming tasks that require
looking at more than one element at a time.

Thats why i see more value in our current user interface, of course it
can highly improved...
