You might want to take a look at the Whisker Browser, which I just 
posted an updated version of on SqueakMap.  It attempts to deal with 
the problem of having many browsers open, by letting you multi-select 
methods and classes and view the stacked multiple selections in a 
single window.

I agree to a large extent.  Whisker integrates the functionality of the 
hierarchy browser, at least.

The current Protocol Browser in Squeak is useful, but I often think it 
would be simpler to just have a menu option in the regular Browser (or 
Whisker etc.) which would let you see the inherited methods there if 
you wanted, and not have to open a separate window.
