Agreed.  While I'd guess that we will probably never move the core 
development environment of Squeak to relying on native widgets (this 
goes against the basic philosophy of Squeak), there's no reason that we 
can't have support for developing standalone applications that use 
native widgets, if a developer wants to do that.
