I also have been using MVC exclusively. I am interested in Smalltalk 
programming. If MVC were dropped, Squeak loses much of its interest for me.

I consider Morphic as an interesting new experiment in user interfaces (and 
several other things, I would guess), but though it is programmed in 
Smalltalk, I don't see it necessarily as "the" user interface for a future 
version of Smalltalk.

Saying MVC is "pretty much dead" is not a correct assessment of the 
situation: "a lot of work is going into Morphic -- it is an active topic of 
research". Though MVC is not an active topic of research, it IS a fairly 
convenient facility for putting together in a simple and straight-forward 
manner many experiments using Smalltalk as a language and environment.
