I have not been using Logic that much, but I can assure you Ableto and Reason are custom drawn GUI all the way and so are the vast majority of VST instruments and effects. Fonts that comes with Pharo by default is a bitmap font, you can replace it with any TrueType font in Pharo settings. You can have setting windows, open/save dialogs, color windows and much more with Pharo's GUI. There is even a window manager that can help you manage multiple windows. Tab support , and much more. If you hate Pharo GUI so much , dont use Pharo, nobody forces you to. None in the Pharo community has a problem improving the GUI (the GUI is actually improved in every release of Pharo) or even supporting native GUIs ( https://marsonpharo.wordpress.com/ ) but the community is very small and I think they are doing a great job for their size. Personally I really like the GUI :) |

That's not the point. It is just not used by the software itself.

I like the GUI of my Lisp Machine. But very very few people use it and it is behind the times in many ways.

Pointing out that it is dated and clunky is not 'hating' it. If somebody asks me how a UI for development tool should look like, I would point out the importance of a native look and feel. Lighttable for example. A recent development. It's not really native. It uses complex web stuff on the desktop. Fail.
True, cross-platform development is tough. But it's somewhat possible. Example: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
