But if Squeak *isn't* a product (and it's not) then this advice (at least
the shouty bits) doesn't make sense :)

That doesn't mean of course, that improved MacOSX support, gui builder,
yadda yadda yadda wouldn't be wonderful things to have, but there *is* a
profound difference between an open source, almost entirely research and
community based pro*ject*, and a multi-billion doller backed, super-hyped
pro*duct*. The same thing might be success for one and failure for the
other.
