Squeak is about personal productivity. I find it offers the path of least 
resistance for personal programming projects. For some UI may be important, 
but for others, it is just a means to an end. I don't know if this can be 
called an attitude because Squeak's UI has absorbed many ideas over the years 
without losing its ability to 'get a job done'. The pace of contributions has 
slowed for sure, but such dips are a natural part of tech adoption curve.

You must be kidding :-). The diversity and volume of opinions in this list can 
hardly constitute 'acceptance' ;-).
