The fact is that we're only 2 Smalltalk programmer there (3 monthes of 
experience with Smalltalk). And the question is: do we want to spend 
efforst on hiring and educating more Smalltalk programmers ? So if the 
speed and ease of management is worth the effort, we'll do. Otherwise, 
we'll hire PHP programmers.
