Agreed for 90% of what I do, but its RealHard(TM) for a single tool to
provide a magic 100% coverage of use cases.

The other 10% of the time I find the "Implementors of..." dialog
provides something that GTSpotter doesn't - it provides a more
permanent list you can scroll through, whereas GTSpotter is a
transitory list.  Further, I recently used Squeak again and their
"Implementors of..." dialog had two additional behaviours missing from
Pharo.

* In the "Implementors of..." code pane, selecting a message and doing
another "Implementors of..." added them as a sub-tree-level in the
existing dialog, whereas in Pharo a new "Implementors of..." window is
opened.  I liked this since it provided structure that I could
navigate, instead of loosing the relationship of multiple opened
windows as I chase a chain of implementers.  I suffer badly from Too
Many Windows Syndrome as it is (even if the shakes don't start until
I'm onto my third row of the task bar)

* On a method in the list pane, menu item "More... > Remove from this browser"
allows you you create a nice focused list of method your interested in
- and its easy to switch back forth between this methods using arrow
keys to quickly compare implementations.
