But is it really true that there are actually *no* MVC practitioners using either Squeak 3.2 or 3.3a , no one at all, except Boris?
What reasons would an MVCer have to move to a newer version? With the exception of modules in 3.3a, almost everything being done in Squeak versions newer than maybe 2.6 (maybe farther back?) have to do with improvements/additions to Morphic or tools with Morphic-only interfaces. There hasn't been much in the way of enhancements to the core or super new libraries, &c. I may be wrong, but this is what i've noticed.
There are a number of enhancements and bug fixes to the tools.The Process Browser runs under MVC. The FileList has been improved. There are improvements to the basic classes (Async file support, exceptions (a biggie), etc., etc.)
Some of the new Morphic tools (like the ArchiveViewer) will run in MVC; so unless you've actually gotten rid of Morphic, you can use them too.
I use MVC for development on my NEC MobilePro 770 (131MHz MIPS) since I find Morphic to be very slow on it.
