The two are not incompatible.  You can use exported code as the
authoritative version of the code, while using an object-rich image to
actually edit that code.

In fact, this is the *normal* way to develop in Smalltalk.  You can
always start in a fresh image if you want.  You simply load all the
code off the disk or out of your version control system.
