Native GUI Squeak?

But for what system?

Squeak now runs on around 22 platforms, and it has the same interface 
conventions on each one (any real Internet system has to run on 
everything).

Neither current UIs or Squeak's current UI is any good ... What we 
need are better interface designs and conventions......to run 
everywhere ....

Cheers,

Alan
