For all the hype about Squeak, it's just another closed smalltalk world.
The real innovation to come from the Kay camp is the pervasive collaborative editors that now manafest themselves as Wikiwebs.

It's interesting you raise the issue of the GUI as a natural evolution. I remember in the mid-80s when I had my first Amiga, the complete disdain that practically anyone I knew who owned a computer felt towards a GUI or computer with graphics was amazing. It certainly took time and visionaries to push the idea of a GUI, not as an optional gimmick, but bundle it with every machine - or as with the mac, make do with ONLY a GUI. for 15 years or more.
