I have welcomed Amber with open arms, but I have failed miserably to wrap my head around it.
Is ironic if you think about, Pharo really lacks documentation even in basic areas, libraries are nowhere near as powerful as those offered by javascript yet I have found Pharo way easier to use. Web development looks to me like a big pile of unnecessary mess. Actually Amber is the best part of it :D So the problem for me is not so much the System Browser , but the steep learning curve . Or maybe its just the fact that I dont like many of the web frameworkds, including html / js / css etc. I wish I could make something in pharo and click a button to deploy it as a website but alas thats just a dream. I think however that for the amount of developers Amber has been making some amazing progress.
