I agree with these comments (don't know if the way to go is Polymorph being that I don't know it deeper) but as I also think that Magritte is a BIG help to write almost any sort of applications. I we could have a better (more productive) way of write desktop UIs then we can take over the win-linux.mac market :) I would try myself with my PasswordsPro application (currently in Dolphin). It would be nice to me port PasswordsPro to Pharo and sell it as a real desktop app (native in any operating system) and reuse the same model to have it on web also. Having a only one model, with UI in desktop and web will be really awesome, even when a lot of people may claim that is possible today, I'm not really convinced with complex applications. Cheers.
