You should _always_ use Output Window (command-L) when debugging more than
a snippet of one or two lines, if you're working in Text windows (the only
way to debug). If you don't open an Output window, then the result and the
cursor keep flying down to the bottom of the Text window you're working in,
making it impossible to do stepped line-by-line debugging. If you open
Output Window, then Smile becomes a fully-fledged line-by-line step
debugger, where you can just keep using the Enter key line by line without
resetting. Sometimes I wonder whether maybe this should just be the default
when you open a Text window, since I've noticed that a few people never seem
to discover it. Smile is crippled without it.
What seems to you to be "some problems" in Smile? It's possible that some of
these "problems" may just be not knowing all of Smile's features. The
documentation still doesn't make it as easy as it could be to discover them
all.
