Warning: I know NOTHING about Dolphin. I haven't even seen it. But, as you 
explain it, it seems like some extra steps to make MVP objects interactive. 
Morphic objects are by default interactive, with nothing to do to get there. 
Why would you want a system that makes you perform extra steps?

I agree the event processing in Morphic can be improved. And, from my small 
experience with it, there are things that need to be fixed. But, why not put 
energy into improving Morphic? It's already there and MVP seems like a LOT of 
work!
