My suggestion is to make your case in this forum. You'll find a good
argument handled here on the merits. I have no idea why you feel it
is necessary to convince Hypercard fanatics of anything.
In the meanwhile, may I suggest that you just go ahead and implement
what you think is needed -- that's the way things are done in
Opensourceland. The great virtue of Squeak is that this can be done
-- try that in Hypercard. If the work has merit, it will be adopted
one way or the other, directly or indirectly.

Actually, not a whole lot of Squeakers are all that concerned about
building GUI widgets. But of those who are, it is probably not a
safe wager to presume it is related to attempting to approximate HC
-- they are seeking mostly to emulate so-called "modern guis."
