Halos in Seaside 2.5

Halos in Seaside 2.5 are just amazing. Here is a screenshot of this blog with halos activated:

Each component of the page has a title-bar with the name if it's class (e.g. SLStoryViewer), 4 tools and one switch.

Clicking on the small icons to the right of the component title bring up the following tools:

  1. smalltalk code browser and editor
  2. object property viewer
  3. CSS editor for that component
  4. source code viewer
The switch on the right-hand-side of the title-bar changes how the component displays:
  1. R: the defined renderer
  2. S: the HTML source code: e.g. the story dated 12 March in the screenshot has been switched to source code mode
  3. D: DOM display
Avi of course describes this better here.

This in-browser level of web-developement is light-years ahead of anything else as far as I know.
