I find both styles appropriate. If my morph encapsulates an independent
application (like FreeCell), I prefer to run it in a SystemWindow.
You can quickly collapse it when you want to look busy :>)
If I want to embed it in another Morph (e.g. BookMorph), I leave
it bare.
I think some may be working with bare morphs because of the
"Add a new morph" menu. I remember my first trip into Morphic Land and
it took a little digging to find the right protocol for opening one
directly. I recently added "openInWindow" and its relatives to Morph
to make it easier to open any single Morph in a SystemWindow.
