Yes, it is nice to hide ImageMorphs away from Etoys, as they just 
confuse (walking like a duck but not talking like a duck )

There are lots of nice projects possible that are quite simple to set 
up. But there is also some functionality missing that make it very hard 
to do stuff that is simple if you know Squeak. But it's also a constant 
struggle not to add too many features that just confuse and clutter up.
