There's plenty of problems, and performance isn't great, but do people think better OpenGL integration is something that's still worth pursuing? (not necessarily based on GLMorphic)
Yes! My dream GUI would be a Smalltalk widget library that draws into Areithfa Ffenestri windows via OpenGL (or maybe Cairo). Native windows would play nicely with the OS window manager, and Smalltalk widgets would give us a consistent experience across platforms. Visualworks is going in that direction with Cairo, and Igor's nascent Athens project looks interesting, but we haven't really seen such a beast yet.
