> Morphic alone was not good enough to build the future out of. First-class information objects called presentations from the CLIM history would have complemented it nicely.

Hum. I hear you. I've tracked demos come and go with their hype and lack of delivery.
Are they fads, though, inherently, or because of a lack of cultural and financial support? I like to learn from all of them but have no idea how to make a new effort that is worth more than just a splash of publicity.
My current bet is on just getting smart software in the hands of a wide audience that don't listen to programming culture.
What else can one do? Who are we rewarding by the way things work now?
Agreed, but the solution sounds like the whole naked object fad from a decade ago.
