<div dir="ltr">I'm pretty big Cuis fan as well, and if what you really want is an image which runs pretty darned fast above a Squeak VM on lower end hardware, it's definitely worth a look. No MVC available on the system yet, unfortunately; it's a thing I want to do, but finding time is hard, etc. Need to make it work right on Squeak first, and gather a good set of tests before attempting to port. We're inching closer to to replacing the current Morphic implementation with something that uses vector graphics (Morphic 3) though, so the topic of unloading the current Morphic implementation (which is very different from those available in other Squeak variants) is currently quite relevant to the folks on the Cuis list, and I do see some overlap here with concerns in the broader Squeak community around Morphic being adjoined to the current system more or less at the hip.<div><br></div><div>If you have any questions about Cuis specifically, the best place to ask is below, although most (if not all) of us read squeak-dev too:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://jvuletich.org/mailman/listinfo/cuis_jvuletich.org">http://jvuletich.org/mailman/listinfo/cuis_jvuletich.org</a><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 9:40 PM, H.

There is a thread in the mail archive<br>
<br>
Subject: All MVC image<br>

It mentions an MVC image done by Sungjin Chun which the late Andreas<br>
Raab considered very fine.<br>
<br>
The MVC implementation in the current squeak still has problems.<br>
<br>
So if you are interested in MVC I suggest that you go for an earlier version.<br>
<br>
(Or you try Cuis which is Morphic only -- reworked by Juan Vuletich --<br>
but is fast <a href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev" target="_blank">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev</a> --<br>
only 600 classes in the image)<br>
