Please, these are serious chunks of code, and deserve a more thorough
look.  Bob's UI *may* be aging (I haven't *heard* of any updates). 
Zurgle and Prefab I heard about within the last year or so.

It is quite likely that there are Squeak3.2 releases for at least two of
these.  Thus, they don't *need* to track the current Squeak version.

Most of all, suppose you decide the built in widgits don't cut it for a
commercial project (and if you want stock widgits, they don't (however,
games are a notable exception, since they tend to use custom widgits
anyway)).  If you decide this, then it is much better to build on an
existing project that has made the same determination, than to start
from scratch.
