Serge,

I agree more than I disagree.  However, I will take my usual stance that
it is the FEEL of Squeak that is suffering.  Fortunately, Gary has
helped there too!  IMHO, the _real_ benefit of Morphic is as an emulated
widget framework.  Don't say this to a static language guru<g>, but
native widgets do not scale well; eventually large grids, etc.  need a
way to escape the overhead of washing everything trough the OS. 
Absolutely, we should not kill Morphic w/o having a replacement emulated
framework.  Failing a replacement, we should keep it.

And with the work of Gary, Morphs are looking much better ;-)
GTK is great have to better acceptance by non-smalltalkers but it's a
bit premature to switch to GTK.
