As you linked in your blog post there are my video tutorials , one of them
are about window groups

About general GUI and UI designs its not any less nightmarish to open
multiple windows in Pharo than it is to open multiple buffers in emacs. The
diffirence between the two is that with emacs you have the nightmare of
lack of any GUI while in pharo you have the lack of sophisticated editing.

My personal opinion on UIs is that I look around and all I see is a huge
mess. The modern effort to turn to minimalism and try to minimise this
phenomenon , fails miserably. Web is even messier because of fragmentation
and lack of cohesion you ending up with a billion different UIs that fail
the same way.   What the modern world needs is not minimalism but rather I
high complex system that can deal with complexity and extremely varied
demands.  That would require  a large body of developers to sit down and do
thorough research  to solve the problem of ever increasingly complex
software.

I work with 3d graphics that are notorious for their inherit complexity,
the situation has been getting so bad lately , that age of "one software to
rule them all" has come to pass and we see more and more fragmentation that
makes life even more difficult.

Pharo is doing some good work on this area but realistically , the
community is too small to solve such a huge problem even with pharo ease of
use.
