Why stop at a GUI builder? why not go for a full application/object builder?
Squeak itself is already this. Having a GUI builder seems somewhat like
having a chair on a bench... perhaps this can still be desireable, though.

Why not say something like... Squeak's factory interface objects are "not
good"?
"Not visually pleasing or consistant enough"? Etc.

Atomically, consistance/standardism here consists of sharing the same class
and class heirarchy. Ie. if it is a Morph and also a BasicButton, it can be
considered a standard button "widget". Though BasicButton is only a template
or convenience wrapper for a predefined definition of a Morphic state
representing a basic button; enough to draw, show clicks, carry out itself.
