Looks we two have a difficult time disagreeing with each other cause we think alike.

Yes it's very hard to put everything in a single tool. The window hell problem is something I have a lot issues with. Windowing systems are notorious for wasting screen estate which why I prefer custom GUIs . A big reason why I prefer GTSpotter too.

It's not because I want to cram more info on my screen I actually want less.

I am not a big fan of the three column browsing GUI of system browser but as tool is still very useful and very flexible.

One tool I miss from Pharo is a bird eye view browser. Similar to the graphs we have seen Roassal people make showing the connection between classes and methods . Both with GTSpotter and System Browser it's easy to forget and lose track which method triggers which method which happens to me often when I study complex code.

On the other hand each one of us have different way of thinking so I can definitely relate to why for someone GTSpotter may come nowhere near the 90% you mention.

Agreed for 90% of what I do, but its RealHard(TM) for a single tool to
provide a magic 100% coverage of use cases.

The other 10% of the time I find the "Implementors of..." dialog
provides something that GTSpotter doesn't - it provides a more
permanent list you can scroll through, whereas GTSpotter is a
transitory list.�� Further, I recently used Squeak again and their
"Implementors of..." dialog had two additional behaviours missing from
Pharo.

* In the "Implementors of..." code pane, selecting a message and doing
another "Implementors of..." added them as a sub-tree-level in the
existing dialog, whereas in Pharo a new "Implementors of..." window is
opened.�� I liked this since it provided structure that I could
navigate, instead of loosing the relationship of multiple opened
windows as I chase a chain of implementers.�� I suffer badly from Too
Many Windows Syndrome as it is (even if the shakes don't start until
I'm onto my third row of the task bar)

* On a method in the list pane, menu item "More... > Remove from this browser"
allows you you create a nice focused list of method your interested in
- and its easy to switch back forth between this methods using arrow
keys to quickly compare implementations.
