That sounds great for applications with a web interface, but I wish

I think that is mainly a problem of Squeak though, not Smalltalk in
general. I fully agree though, the UI system of Squeak is just not
good.
Does it just look not good to you (have you checked
UI-Enhancements/Polymorph) or what part of it do you mean?
No, I have yet to check Polymorph. I must be blind, but I dont see it on
SqueakMap - where is it?
Polymorph (formerly UIEnhancements) is mentioned here,

Other than the looks, I do not like the "feeling", the speed, the
absence of native widgets (why do everything yourself? you have an OS to
participate from!)
I'd appreciate your feedback on polymorph (feeling, widgets, "native",
themes).

I know, even Cincom canned their "first new owner-drawn system, then on
top of that native widgets if the platform allows"-Projects
(Pollock/Panda/Chagall). Having worked a bit in that direction, I also
know how tedious or more likely impossible a task this is.
Still, one has dreams or graphics contexts being written to the GPU
directly ... hm, sounds like OpenGL, doesnt it?
