why do you think so ?

Because we're doing a rewrite, with no uses of the specifics of what Morphic uses. So whatever usage of a pattern of code, or of layout or display that was special to Morphic, will disappear: nobody will keep dead code which only exercise a corner case of Morphic alone.

IMHO, Rubrics, just from it's layout approach, is already a step backward.

Who knows why a Morph does z-ordering of its submorphs in the reverse order of all other gui toolkits? Has Bloc kept that? Why should it keep it? It's messing up Spec gui building. It will be disappear.
