First, it was MY decision.
I’m pushing launcher as the default download for Pharo since year now.
Do I am happy with it not working on windows right now? Of course not. But
pushing it also in windows has already forced us to fix some bugs there and a
new version of the launcher (and a better Pharo on windows) and at the result
will be good.
I was going to suspend the launcher as the default download until a better
version arrived, but I’ve been told that will happen this week, so I will wait.
Second, we have a lot of bottlenecks, but is true this is important.
Third, please restrain your self to talk like that in the future. Is rude and
unnecessary.
