Hello,
I can live in either way (automatic #initialize or
not). So my position is... no position, in a way.
But, *if* we are going to do this:

I'd suggest again, following Aoki-san's, that
new
^self basicNew initialize; yourself
would be more 'novice-friendly'. When I was a novice (I'm definitely
not an expert yet.), I was spending time to find out what to return
from #initialize. By putting #yourself, the return value of the
#initialize method becomes insiginificant.
Just $0.02,
