The one of core ideas behind Sugar is learning by doing. It is critical to have the tool that will well support doing metaphor, doing not only within regular project teams but also by individuals who tweak the software in the process of learning. But not the least option is sharing results of experiments. Sweets is intended to make both aspects less annoying using the Zero Install system.

The core difference of the final approach with previous evolutions is the idea that successful model should cover the full lifetime cycle of software, from developing by creators to using by community. Another project, Open Build System, was chosen for that.
