No serious apps? Well I think I'd call large multinational company  
payroll systems serious. And major financial systems and a number of  
big military apps.  A non-trivial number of web apps running on  
Seaside. IIRC LibertyBasic is implemented on Smalltalk. And then  
there is Squeak, which I consider a pretty serious application, for  
all it's faults.

'a mouse for a logo' - well, yes and how is that bad compared to a  
penguin, a coffee cup, a camel or any other logo? I happen to think  
(but then I'm biased) that it looks pretty damn good on all the  
books, caps, sweatshirts, badges, tshirts etc that I've been sent.  
Nobody has done a squeak logo lambourghini to send me yet....

Aside from that I concur very much with what matthew said.
