I do miss the 'select and execute', and 'everything is a shell' model of MPW. Definitely one of my favorite development environments.

  elsewhere on HN today is a short article on BBedit, which has a really nice shell worksheet interface similar to the old MPW. Select the text you want to execute, hit control-return, and the shell output will appear below the selected text.

    If I'm not mistaken, I believe this feature originates with Smalltalk (you might think that Smalltalk is a language and the feature in question is an editor feature, but most Smalltalk variants are tightly integrated with an editing environment).
