I did a fair amount of Smalltalk programming at one time when I was in school. I drank the Kool Aid, I understood the philosophy, I read the literature. I only used Squeak, and I am aware that other systems offer more tools. Those other systems are all proprietary, and sadly the Smalltalk community (for the most part) is not a Free Software kind of community. I'm sure cool Open Source things happen (and Squeak is certainly cool), but all the most advanced (most "modern") features seem to be proprietary. Maybe it's not fair to dismiss them because of that. But I am not fair and I dismiss them because of that. And I offer no apologies for this.
