This makes a strong argument for "the infinite feature":
If there was some means of allocating an arbitrary region of a MetaCard
stack window to an external with hooks into MC's event loop, one could use
MC for all the things MC does well, and then make a plugin for the specific
functionality required within that region (e.g., 3D display, true
spreadsheets, etc.).
Done well, there would be no rational argument against using MC to build
darn near everything under the sun, since at that point MC would be
essentially a high-level framework without limitations.
