Oh, it's not the 20 keystrokes that worries me. It's the risk of  
putting my system into an unstable state--particularly a state that  
may not be immediately obvious, but may lurk in the background and  
leap out at the worst possible time--for example, when I'm demoing  
the code for my advisor.

So, to use it as a production system, I would need to test it. Really  
run it through it's paces. And I don't have time for that right now.  
It's easier to either a) grit my teeth and ignore the boxes or b) go  
back to 3.8.

However, I just wanted to say that I really do appreciate all the  
work everyone's done on Squeak, and I didn't ever mean to criticize  
the people or the effort behind this project. I have a tendency to  
criticize things in direct proportion to how much I like them. If  
something's crap, I just won't bother. But if I feel it's really  
close but just not quite right, I tend to really get excitable.

Sorry if I ruffled any feathers.
