Scamper & Gecko ?

I think it would be great (and entirely possible) to have a 100% squeak
web browser that had the important features, compatibility, and speed of
the more popular web browsers.

However, it would take a lot of work and I don't think it's worth the
time and effort.  I think the time would be better spent working on
something new (like morphic for example).

But, I also think that Squeak needs to become a platform where people
are comfortable spending all of their time.  That means that it needs a
good web browser, email client, etc.

So, if Gecko isn't too hard to integrate and will result in a more
compatible and capable web browser, then I'm all for it.  I'd certainly
use it.
