[Oberon] Why Oberon-2 and Component Pascal is more popular than Oberon-7?

[Douglas G. Danforth]

Srinivas ,

I use BlackBox because the windows are overlapped
whereas Oberon-7 and Project Oberon has tiled (non overlapping)
windows of a fixed size (more or less).

I also like BBs menus and forms for GUI construction (within BB).
