Any feedback is very important.

In fact current behaviour is not replacement of old context menu command.
It is just rethinking of classic single source code pane of old browsers.
So we will add missing command to context menu. But I think the command
should open the current "New class" tab instead of old dialog request.
Also old browser behaviour is still working. You can create new class from
the class editor tab. Just type new class name in the definition of
selected class.

You are right. It is missing command like previous one. We will add it.

Now it is more like a stub.
There is integration with new package management Cargo (Christophe is
working on it). But it is probably not ready yet.
I think we should also implement Metacello backend.
Anyway project mode will become default view in future.

It creates stub implementation of abstract methods (found in superclasses).
I think in Calypso this command is not needed anymore because there is
"should be implemented" method group which shows all these abstract methods.

Yes, I will add it.

You can report issues directly at github project
https://github.com/dionisiydk/Calypso/issues.
Thank's for you feedback.
