[UI] Well, shall we do something then?

[Bill Schwab]

Jason,

Understood/agreed.  In fact I would expect to see a
MorphicWorldPresenter that would allow one to incorporate morphs into an
MVP framework.  I probably would start out using Morphic for views, and
once that was working, start looking for an alternative.  It should be
possible to coexist so that: (1) there will be a prayer of people
looking at it let alone using it; (2) who wants to start writing an IDE
while reworking the GUI =:0

With the MVP proposals I don't think we are doing either.  I think
Morphic could be used for the view if we want.

I hope people don't take my questioning of Morphic as an indication
that MVP has to replace it.  I think these are two totally different
issues.

Personally I see this choice as the power of the MVP model.  We can
create a domain class, a presenter for it and a view (or a few) for
each possible View type (e.g. Tweak, Morphic, OpenGL, Seaside?), which
can be selected automatically depending on user preferences.
