You can browse within it, and also spawn off other kinds of browsers from it.

And these browsers are extensible with others. As someone new to Smalltalk, I was pretty easily able to add a visual class hierarchy browser into this environment:

Half the things we know or think about in HCI, the people at PARC figured out before we were born, and sometimes before the hardware to test it existed.
