Gotta second this motion. Maui really is a gift. Data-directed directly into your brain, nearly tactile user interaction. It's like you're looking directly at the actual object, but with a lens that lets you see more clearly than the standard inspector. In some ways, it reminds me of Self and its Outliners. 

If you're using Squeak and you haven't checked out Maui, please do. There's a bit of a learning curve, but Chris has documented it well.

P.S.

Also install... What's it called? Maybe Connectors? Help me out here, Chris. Anyway it aids visualization a *whole lot.* Makes the whole network of information really pop out at your eye in a way that's really intuitive.

But if I need to do an application I will do it with Maui but let it die if I got to do it with morphic because it is too much work and very too long. So Maui is a must for users of Squeak who just love to do small applications for them, applications  they can use in everyday life.
