What about developpers new to Squeak? We need to provide them with most 
popular/usefull
programming tools. I'm thinking to my students. I use Squeak in my 
courses to introduce OO programming. I have only few hours for it. Then 
I leave students play with Squeak (for those willing to) on their own. 
Of course, I can provide them a special image with a set of tools.
But :
- they get more impressed if they learn that all those tools are 
provided in the official image
- they may get lost if they they work during clases with my specific 
image and don't retreive the same tools when downloading  a new "full" 
version

Even for developpers familiar with Squeak. I thinking here to people 
like me that need to reinstall their favourite tools every time they 
start using a new version/release. Fortunately, their is developpers 
workspace on SqueakMap. But, it takes some extra time to install it. 
And, it does not always work
with developpment (alpha, beta) versions (at least with 3.7)....
