This is why I use Python libs for various graphics. Morphics internal graphics 
architecture is a rats nest of conflicting code, and half the 
translation/rotation features are broken in various ways. Everyone talks 
about fixing it, but no one ever does. It really makes doing any non-trivial 
graphics programming in Squeak a pain.

Everyone is too busy building the next cool one-off project, and no one is 
cleaning up or maintaining the morphic infrastructure. Nevermind the fun I 
had trying to get sound to work under Linux.

With Python, everything I've wanted to do works.
