Indeed. The Tweak developers (which really was just Andreas himself  
at that time) did not advocate general usage of Tweak, because they  
could not do the required support on their own. There was a question  
like "will Tweak become the new UI for Squeak?" and the honest answer  
had to be "we don't know, if someone takes it and *makes* it the next  
UI then sure". But nobody did.

Tweak is well and alive as part of Croquet, and the Croquet  
developers in general are happy to experiment with new stuff, even if  
it does not follow traditional Smalltalk philosophy. For example,  
Tweak introduces asynchronous message sends, and that indeed causes  
issues with debuggability as mentioned elsewhere. It is used in  
production, so can't be all bad ;) Tweak questions are best posted to  
the Croquet list nowadays.
