No, we can't ALL be on the same page with the same goals, motivations and preferences. Personally, I don't care about EToys, Traits and some other-cool-things-that-I-do-not-use but I can understand some people have interests different than mine.<br><br>"This is a Pharo list now". No, Pharo has its own mailing list. But the Pharo guys are kind enough and do care about Smalltalk/Squeak enough that when they find/fix bugs that they suspect could be present in "other flavors/forks" of Squeak, they simply post it here too. Just to be nice. Just to help the "Squeak" community. "Squeak" not just as in "Squeak-dev" but more in the "larger sense", WhateverSqueak fork out

Even though I never use ObjectStudio nor GNU Smalltalk, I'd never criticize or "bash" those guys because, in a sense, I feel we are in the same "community", the Smalltalkers one. The more Smalltalk grows (in directions we like or not), the more people we'll reach.<br><br>Let's not try to self-implode like a dying star here...<br><br>Diversity is cool and necessary to evolve. Besides, wasn't experimentation one of the initial goals of Squeak?!<br><br>Gentlemen, at your browsers.
