It depends how you define "polish". It is not about features, but
about how things are implemented and whether it works like a real GS
on the computer I worked on. In this case, Sweet16 is a very polish
program! The best feature is the full screen mode that extends the
whole screen using OpenGL, this makes my iMac works and feels like a
super GS. A good interface is an interface that does not get between
you and computer, that's why I don't like many palettes provided by
Bernie II the Rescue, and like a full screen interface that just work.

Sweet16 is an excellent, polish application that does not feel like an
emulator, it feels like my iMac IS the Apple IIGS. The only issue I
have working daily is that fact that switching between full screen GS
mode and my Mac screen required switching off full screen in GS ->
minimize the Sweet16 and then show the Sweet16 window -> switch on
full screen, and see the flickering of screen a few times during this
process that reminds me that this is an emulator. Otherwise it is as
perfect as it can be.
