P.S. Maybe this is not a priority for people in regards to Squeak.
There is Cuis 4.1 available which fulfills much of this goal.
     http://www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/Index.html
     https://github.com/jvuletich/Cuis

And the number of packages available for Cuis is growing.

And having Environments in Squeak 4.5 is probably a higher priority....
