From what I read on your project, it was quite daring to expose you to Bloc and Iceberg and the latest Pharo. I wouldn't have. Because these things are still in flux. These things are interesting and are the way forward. But not ready for end users. But this has exposed you to the realities of creating new things: it is not as clean as one would want nor are users that cool when facing them. In a unusual environment like Pharo, it gives a kind of blurring effect since a user has a hard time distinguishing between solid ground and treacherous new terrain. I would advise you to look back at Bloc and Iceberg when Pharo 7 is released. The occasionnal freeze of the environment is indeed a pain and a new user would cringe more than once. I actually have a REPL server running in my images to restart the UI when such stuff occurs. Not the realm of a newcomer for sure. Pharo is great for my uses. It is not the best tool for everything, granted. But when dealing with complex domains, I haven't found anything close.
