because its simpler to understand and because I made it work the way I wanted faster than the Rubric alternatives.
For example finding the cursor position for a RubScrolledTextMorph is even worse and is located at textArea selectionInterval which I did not even find by myself because the name would never have me guessed that selection had anything to do with cursor position. But I was told so by another smalltalker at slack chat. And even though my code formating worked great with TextMorph via keyStroke message when I tried to port my code to the Rubric keyStroke alternative it stopped working and I did not manage to find out why before I finally managed to find how to get the cursor position from a TextMorph. Generally speaking Morphic is my first choice for the simple fact that when it comes to Rubric, Glamour, Spec or whatever else Morphic still remains the basis. So if I am going to learn Morphic anyway then I might as well make it my first choice and when it cant do what I want the easy way then I will look into the alternatives. Frankly I really like Morphic. Still new to it, but its generally design makes more sense to me than other pharo GUI APIs.
