OK, let me throw in a couple of artifacts that I come across everyday for perusal.
- Dave Winer's Frontier, which uses an outliner for scripting in UserTalk,
and has a certain 'look'.
http://www.scripting.com/frontier/snippets/nerdsguide.html (scroll down to see editor)
http://frontier.userland.com/ (general)
(actually Frontier may be of interest to the Squeak community wrt. the way it deals with being a hot system. Guest Databases, Suites, etc. )
Michael Starke's Golgi in fact was inspired by Frontier and implements (in an alpha way) outlining code panes in Squeak, with the added advantage that the outline widgets are semantically significant.
