Blue *and* pink planes!

I'd replace "stuck with" with "blessed with". I *like* having both. And
MVC, for the moment, much more responsive than morphic. On a PDA, it can
make quite a difference (older machines too).

Plus, the MVC approach is *interesting*. It's worth preserving and enhancing.

Plus, you don't really need to use it if you don't want to. So, what's the
problem?

Folks, please go back and read my post subjected (;)) "Squeak (Central's)
"Acception system"". It contains a statment from Dan about the value of
backward/cross compatibility. We needn't heedlessly sacrifice one
(comptability) for the other ("innovation"/"experimentation").
