Yes, that's what people should eventually learn, but think way back to
before you were comfortable programming GUI's...   Many people have a
hard time thinking about this idea that a widget is passive and waits to
be asked to draw itself.  Many people would like to write code along the
lines of:

	1. compute a new point to draw.
	2. draw it.
	3. go to 1.

Or maybe:

	Whenever a building is destroyed, draw an explosion on top of it.

Or:

	Every 10 milliseconds, draw a new square at a random place.

These are awkward for a beginner in Squeak right now.  Before you can
implement them, you have to code up some extra infrastructure to manage
a form behind the scenes.

On further thought, though, there actually is a way to do this in Squeak
right now: using addMorph:.  Instead of drawing an ellipse, add an
EllipseMorph to the right location.  There are (or should be) morphs for
all of the canvas commands....
