This sounds intriguing. Is Squeak a dialect from Smalltalk? They offered a tutorial about Squeak in the last ECOOP'01.
I was busy with the Workshop on OOAE and their tutorial was not at all intelligible. It looks like the Self manual
where no explanation about collections was given. I had to figure out by myself that all the methods there were
similar to those from Smalltalk .Then I picked up the Smalltalk books and studied. You may agree this is at least
not friendly. And artists only feel attracted towards friendly things.
Could you please tell me where I can read more about this (MVC + Morphic)?

Indeed the Morphic arrangement based on rowMorphs and columnMorphs is very rigid!
However the underlying philosophy is nice!

The same for you, too!
