UI Models

Hello,

I'm looking to categorise for myself the various UI paradigms available to Squeak. As far as I know 
there is:

a)Domain model with orchestrating instance and application model with toolkit (morphic).

b)As above without the toolkit.(mvc and morphic)

c)Direct manipulation with scripting.  No domain model.

Does anyone anticipate that the direct manipulation with scripting will be used in business computing 
or is it expected to be in the personal computing realm only ?

Pluggable UIs aren't so clear to me. Am I right in thinking that pluggable components fit directly to 
objects within the domain model without an orchestrating instance and application model ? I've been 
doing it that way but feel a little guilt as if I'm cheating :-)

Are there any other UI paradigums ?

Thanks,
Gary
