IMHO, if you consider Squeak as an environment for multimedia development, 
it is indeed basic. It all depends on which level you expect end-users to 
program. Personally I was very impressed by the areas covered in the 
"basic" image (audio+MIDI, 3D stuff, internet, eToys), and it gave me a 
strong incentive for digging further into squeak.
