I am working with Pharo 3 without issues. What exactly is the issue you have there?
If you are working with Pharo 4, then surely there will be issues since it’s an alpha version and we are not (yet) actively building Seaside on it.

I think the complexity of webapps have long surpassed the halos and in-browser inspectors of Seaside. They are still there but I never ever used them for real.
They might have been cool at one point in time, but they are absolutely useless when your webapp grows beyond the hello-world and counter example complexity.

So, the Smalltalk debugger (server-side) and built-in browser tools (client-side) are what we are using every day.
