Yes you are quite correct Martin. Currently I consider Squeak to be an excellent
\"car construction toolkit\" but a pretty lousy \"car\".

Well, I have lost some of the postings here but trying to explain again:

I don\'t personally find Squeak to be a good place yet for either total Smalltalk
beginners nor plain \"users\" of Squeak - meaning people who don\'t even want to
know Smalltalk, they want to use Squeak without coding.

I admit that I haven\'t seen how Squeak works without guidance, though I have my
suspicions. If you have guidance at hand then it\'s another story. Like the eToy
sessions with kids - the kids have guidance and it seems to work very well then.

BUT... I DO want to attract more developers to the Squeak community. And one
goal is of course to make Squeak a better place for beginners and users too.

regards, Göran
