When you spin up a fresh pharo VM, you are greeted by "Prof. Stef Tutorial". It's this guy.

Is anybody using Pharo? I'm interested.

i am using pharo casually as a developers desktop.

i found its interface more polished than squeak and they do more active work towards integration of modern developer tools such as git.

the one thing that i miss from squeak is nested workspaces. those are a neat way to organize multiple projects into one image.

Might be worth noting that the author seems to be firmly in the Pharo camp, while Squeak enthusiasts might insist they have the true Smalltalk successor.
