Xanadu

I have also wondered how close Xanadu <http://www.xanadu.net/> is to 
being a usable system. It sounds like a lot of good thought has gone 
into it. It has gone Open Source <http://udanax.com/>, the source is 
in Smalltalk and Squeak is mentioned as a likely candidate for 
porting <http://udanax.com/gold/index.html>. A Smalltalk to C++ 
converter is mentioned.
Has anyone looked at Xanadu in any depth? What are it's drawbacks? 
Why isn't it going places in a hurry? Or is it?
