What is better?

String new writeStream or WriteStream on: String new or WriteStream on: ''

by popularity '' is the winner, however apparently not everyone is happy with that https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/15260/WriteStream-on-new-string

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ f := Finder new. (f sourceSearch: 'WriteStream on: ''''') size. "51" (f sourceSearch: 'String new writeStream') size. "48" (f sourceSearch: 'WriteStream on: String new') size. "39" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While this is not a popularity contest, we can at least poll for preferences https://strawpoll.me/5153067 :)

Prefer this one, as Stef said.

or WriteStream on: String new

Use this one only if you want to specify which type of stream.

or WriteStream on: ''

This is the worst. It won't work in GemStone for example, because '' is a literal.
