Hi,
I totally agree with you Stephane. I faced the same problems when making MetaclassTalk. The classbuilder is not clean at all. And in many kernel classes, one can find methods with hundreds of lines and hardwirings. This make any experiments with core Squeak classes heavy...
Note: My intent is not to blame people who wrote the code, but to make Squeak become better...

Nevermind Morphic, which just seems to keep bloating and bloating.
Anyone up for redoing it?
Wasn't that a project a while ago? To redo morphic? Everyone talks about design patterns, and refactoring, but no one ever seems to do it in Squeak.

Squeak is good, but I find the cruft really gets in the way of a lot of things. I've started using PHP lately, and I really like it for webpage scripting. It's clean, it works, and it's fast for a scripting host. Plus conceptually, it's very smalltalky in it's object behaviour.
