We present our experience using the Gandalf environment generation system as a prototyping vehicle for the Inscape Environment. Our positive experience included experimentation, incremental evolution, multiple views, the coupling of semantic and editing actions, and the use of the domain-specific facilities. Our negative experience consisted primarily of problems with presentation and object management. On the whole, our experience was positive.
