I was not aware that these are two different things. At least the two
frameworks share a big part of their name and obviously they both do
some kind of graphic drawing. Furthermore there is no category for
'Balloon' on Mantis, just one for 'Balloon3D'. Does 'Balloon' belong
to 'Morphic'? Does this mean that 'Balloon' is not maintained?

That would be a pity, because the anti-aliasing was about the only
argument to prefer Squeak over VisualWorks for graphics. With the
raise of Cairo things probably change anyway :-(
