Since single-fullwindow apps like garageband, finalcut, aperture et
al. are all very well accepted, a single-fullwindow app based on pharo
sounds possible.
By accessibility (a11y) I meant support for disabled use, such as
screenreaders and voice operation.
Also useful for hands or eyes free operation such as while driving or
other physical tasks :)

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 :)
