GUI documentation will likely never show up: the current graphic framework is outdated, subject to deprecation and no subject to improvement since Athens low level layer was left as it is. It may or may not be replaced by Bloc or something else. I don't thing anyone is willing to write documentation when there is not clear direction regarding the GUI framework.

Isn't it crazy for this not to be solved yet?! That's a long time - don't remember exactly, but I started with Pharo 1.4 IIRC, and it was bad back there already, then juz got worse.
Is there a blog post detailing a) all the kinds of GUI frameworks that are out there and how advanced their development; and b) what approaches were tried and abandoned, when, and why? I know it's much to ask, but, at this point, I feel the lack of progress in this area should become a much higher priority, and a blog post like would help in recruiting people for the effort.
