Yes, Juan and community have done a good job with Cuis. Cuis is a fork of Squeak same as Pharo, and all three use the same OpenSmalltalk-VM. Both forks arose to deal with a large technical debt in different ways. Cuis has been paring back class sizes while Pharo has been focused on a full source-code only bootstrap from a null-Image (i.e. no carried over state in an Image, that is one of Smalltalk's typical criticisms), replacing old subsystems, as well as adding new features. I'd say Pharo is more ambitious and we are starting to see the payoffs for this.

btw, which was the CUIS prototype framework you used? There should be little reason it couldn't be made to run on Pharo.

The framework is called Denotative Objects.
