What I mean was, "compared to IDE's of other languages".  That is, I
can open 10 browsers on one project I'm working on and it's no
problem.  10 Eclipse, IntelliJ, Visual Studio or what ever is
unthinkable.

I do.  No point in moving faster then I can think.  But seriously,
there are hot keys to switch between browsers and I naturally place
them some order that makes sense to me.

You should get the book "Smalltalk best practice patterns".  It
explains which categories methods should go in.  Now I just have to go
back and recategorize everything I did wrong before I got that book.
