Wow, so the creators obviously didn't know how software development works.
I've always been impressed by solutions that require you to know what the
<structure of the> final solution will be like before you start working on
it.

This is probably the best thing about Smalltalk--the development environment
really 'gets it' w r t how the development process works in reality.
