Hi,
you need a newer VM, as answered here, for example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41401327/squeak-doesnt-run-on-mac-os-sier...
The last decision that I know of is to only include a newer VM version in the next release of Squeak and not update the current bundle.
Kind regards, Jakob

OK, I've been watching for awhile now, since I upgraded to Sierra, and still can't find a Squeak package that will run. I'm not the greatest Smalltalk genius, but it looks like the issue was solved in the Pharo community. I can run theirs -- but I like Squeak! Even if I run the nightly builds or the 6.0 alpha, it still fails. When I run it, an icon appears in my dock, but there is no window.
I did search through the forum to see if I could find any solution, but the Pharo discussion is all that turns up for me -- maybe I missed it somehow. I found:
This thread has a broken link to a VM that worked for one guy, but I can't find it now: http://forum.world.st/Squeak-Does-Not-Run-on-MAC-OS-Sierra-td4918570.html#a4...
This poor soul posted in December, but received no replies: http://forum.world.st/Squeak-5-1-on-macOS-sierra-td4925827.html
Right now I have to run Squeak in a Linux VM. I can't imagine I'm the only person to be having this problem -- is Mac OS X Sierra not a target platform for Squeak? Should I just switch to Pharo?

Since this comes up repeatedly, it might be helpful to add a note to the Mac OS download on squeak.org.

Ah, OK -- I didn't even think to search Stack Overflow for the answer. I'll remember that for next time.
For the record, I had to do this (in case someone else finds this post searching for the answer):
1. Download newer VM from https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/cog/ 2. Download current image and sources from http://squeak.org/downloads/ 3. Start newer VM and choose .image file
Anyway, now I'm up and running, so thanks for the help!
BTW, if it's going to be months before the next release or something, I agree that some info in a place where a new user might actually find it would be a good idea!
