I agree with you opinion but, by other hand, I think that with Morphic is 
very hard the way to develop UIs in a "business application" context (At 
least the sort of ui that the most of customers are requesting) besides the 
long time necessary to develop the new morphs.

Having explored several alternatives, and not sure yet about the scope of 
Tweak, I'm now playing with wxSqueak and thinking seriously in use it in 
"typical" business app.

I would prefer another method, Squeak native, all inside the image, but not 
existing this thing, I think that wxSqueak is a real alternative to jump 
Squeak to the business applications world.

wxSqueak: http://homepage.mac.com/rgayvert/wxsqueak.html

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers.
