I don't have a lot of experience with Smalltalk yet, but I really love what I've seen so far.<br>
<br>
I'm curious what experienced Smalltalkers see as some of the reasons why it doesn't attract more attention. I understand the issues with Smalltalk in the past related to license costs and performance, but those have been addressed now. Have you tried to convince someone to consider Smalltalk and failed to convince them? Why do you think they rejected it? What improvements could be made to current Smalltalk environments, especially Squeak, that might sway them?</blockquote>
