This sentiment must be taken with a grain of salt.
Scratch is probaly the most widely used Squeak application and I have 
not heard any complaints from them on this matter.
I gave you a warning quite early about the huge burnout rate of Squeak 
realease team members. It's not clear to me that even if you completed 
your job with thew 3.11 release, that anybody would use it. Just like 
the Modules image it could be abandoned because of issues with tools and 
integration. I never looked at your stuff , but I've used Mantis and I 
do not like it. It seems futile to base future development on tools that 
people find obscure and hard to use.
