I would recommend a look... though really a quick look may tell you very 
little.  My first response to the Squeak environment was somewhat mixed 
because it is 100% non-standard widgets.  Rather than try to make a 
cross-platform GUI that looked right on all platforms, they just made it 
look wrong but identical on all platforms.  But once you get used to it, 
it's really quite nice (though it certainly has plenty of flaws).

No, I hadn't really...  the thought of actually working on an IDE from 
the ground up felt kind of overwhelming but I admit that's a bad 
attitude on my part :)  I will try to have a look at it this week though 
I will be away on vacation for nearly two months as of next week so 
actual constributions may have to wait until after that.

Refactoring, in particular I think is very important.  But those are all 
admirable goals.
