Hi

I think that you got morphic right. :)
Too big, too complex, too much stuff and too much experimental stuff 
....

too bad because this would have been cool. Now I hope that we will get 
another better
UI framework but if this is not Tweak I do not see something happening.
(I was used to use VW and its UIbuilder :))

Now this does not mean that we cannot do things with it. Have a look at 
the BreakOut Game
on SqueakMap. You can also look at the Zurgle look which is impressive.
and  connectorMorph because this is really good.

So I think that your evaluation is right but you should pass over the 
first impression (the second)
The first this is cool, the second, it sucks, the third is let us do 
something with it.
