First off, I didn't mean completely obsoleted, in that it can be deleted or something. It does serve a purpose still, just what I perceive as it's previous main functionality is obsolete imo.
That's not a bad thing, that just means things changed. If you look around and see northing's changing, then check your pulse, you must be dead. SM has carved out a perfectly good niche of being the catalog of Squeak, and will likely continue to do this indefinitely.

To say a tool which manages dependencies is more sophisticated is problematic in my opinion. At first dependencies introduce complexity which isn't always good. The upside of having dependencies has the downside to be hussled by dependencies. With dependencies it is easy to install software in first place. If I have my own set of module versions I don't want to have a tool which decides to install other versions than the ones I like. I know this can be prevented but it stays problematic.
