Thanks for doing that, Matthew.
For the record, I like some of Squeak's look and don't think it necessarily
goes against "wide-spread UI conventions." Or, I'd like to see that list.
I do not think we should follow what Windows and other UIs have done just for
the sake of being like them. There are a lot of interface problems with
Windows (and the Mac and Linux distros). I propose that the best way to start
is to define general heuristics that Squeak apps/tools/projects/system/etc.
can follow - starting clean is the best way to approach the issues that we
find.
Generally, I think Squeak started out right at the beginning. It's just that
the UI hasn't been maintained consistently as the world learned of new
interface issues.
