Hi Laurence,

I really welcome everybody's opinion. I want to know how the Squeak 
community sees my project.

And I fully agree with all you say. Morphic 3 will have a set of 
standard widgets. Not to please some "average programmer", but because I 
find it useful. What I don't have in my current plans is to work on a 
GUI builder. But this doesn't mean that it can not be done. I welcome 
not only input,  but code. If people likes Morphic 3 and want to help, 
this is something that can be done.

Cheers,
Juan Vuletich
