Subject: Talk to me of Browsers

Howdy,

I am a relative Squeak newcomer and I'm trying to get a sense of what sorts of options there are for me to work with. My question tonight regards browsers.

I am running the 3.9 (7067) image and am using the default browser it comes with. However, I've loaded up some other images and they include a different browser that seems to support Traits (whatever they are exactly) and more refactoring tools. However, after some brief experiments that browser seemed a bit buggy to me -- I couldn't browse instance variables for instance, and asking for the 'senders' of a message threw an exception.

On these mailing lists I've seen folks talk about: the "Traits Browser", the "Omni Browser", and so on. On SqueakMap I see something called the Refactoring Browser that requires something else called "AST".

Can someone give me a breakdown of the currently supported browsers and why I might choose one over the other.

I don't mind advice of the sort: "Use this one!" That would be great.

Thanks in advance.
