Morphic... assumes you will create your own morph class and implement methods to specify behavior.
It's certainly possible to do. But you will run into various problems that you wouldn't have if you did it properly.

At the risk of speaking for Bert, I hear exactly that when he says 'properly'.
The "Squeak By Example" book and "An Introduction to Morphic" both describe this approach in detail. I, personally, found it much more fun than workspace coding.
