Did your "Smalltalk Code Critic" tell you that or just another one of your biased opinions? Squeak is a fantastic media authoring environment -- even old versions from years past embarass programs like, say, PowerPoint. It's text-handling is fantastic -- remember the release image delivered with text on the desktop flowing out one text box, following along a loop-de-loop spline and into another text box? What other programs that can do that today in 2012..? In the spirit of Squeak, the original developers delivered a lot of power with little code. But yes, it's a complex domain and so reviewing the code in one afternoon may not meet your "aesthetic eye." On Sat, Apr 21, 2012 at 2:21 PM, Marcus Denker <marcus.denker@inria.fr> wrote:

Great news!
I am currently busy looking after Text, TextAttributes, TextConstants, Paragraph... and god, it went through the grinder and it shows.
Isn't it amazing how bad the Squeak code is for text and everything media considering that the goal was to be the media environment for the future?
