Today, I tried to understand the twisted.web.client code and I found 3
methods I couldn't find by who were called.

I asked on the mailing list and they suggested me where they were
called and that the tool for such thing is "grep".

So, you grep, you get a list of files, you open each one of them and
keep scrolling

May I suggest reading grep's FineManual ? with proper options, you'll get not only the file, but also the exact lines (and lineno) where the expression appears.

If it's this, then it's not experimental at all, it's been done
already and been put apart.

Crap won :-(

Ever read "worst is better" ?-)

Now, image-based systems like Smalltalk do have their share of quirks and drawbacks too.

Also, Smalltalk's toolbox can only be used by and for Smalltalk. A bit autistic, he ?

I'm doing mostly web development nowadays. That means that I'm constantly switching between server-side code (mostly Python or PHP but can be almost any other language), shell scripts, SQL, html + whatever templating language is used by this project, javascript and css. And of course quite a few configuration file formats...

So well, as far as I'm concerned, not having to learn 42+ different toolboxes is a big plus (having to remember 42+ different languages is already hard enough) - I can use a same code editor (Emacs) and standard unix/linux text-handling tools on all my codebase.
