In the traditional scene of static programs - lets say I'm looking at program.tcl, or program.mod, program.pas, program.rb etc etc - In a language that I'm not familiar with. I know what the program is supposed to do, Comments in the code or my common sense and general experience of programming will give me a framework in which I can see what's going on. The "domain space" is smaller, and the "solution space" is maybe a few thousand lines of source code.
Just out of curiosity: if you fileOut the code of a Squeak class and view/edit that file in your favorite text editor ("string" editor), would you feel less "at sea"?
