Ha. Browsers come whole. They date back to MVC and
their components get linked up when they are created.
Because its been there and worked nobody (yet) has
even attempted to build morphic assemblable
components.

If you want to see that happen write a user story.

I wish Morphic could do ...

Additionally join the lively friends of morphic
discussion that has taken over and revived the morphic
list.

Now that's not true. There have been various attempts at this, the
coolest perhaps being Dan's Fabrik:

None of these projects were picked up and finished and maintained by
the community though.

I see, so you use it like a drawing board. Very creative. Now if we just had a way to say "now turn this drawing into a real GUI". :)
