Native widgets are over-rated IMHO. That is not to say they have no value, and it would be nice to see us make them easy to use. I am split on whether I would like to see the IDE tools appear as host widgets on Linux; it would probably be best to set (sorry) a preference for the image to run over multiple windows or to default to what we have now which can be very useful if I need to work on two or more images at one time. That is rare, and most of the time I would like to see the OS' task bar include my Smalltalk tools.
The only real advantage I see for native widgets currently is that they support things like accessibility, though Juan mentioned he's thought about that for Morphic 3 which gives me hope :)
