Regardless of one's point of view regarding Squeak for commercial purposes, I think it's a good thing to support the commercial Smalltalks. For example, a Seaside business application can be delivered on either VisualWorks or Squeak. It takes nothing away from Squeak at all if you recommend VisualWorks for a project like this, and you can of course refer to the very professional-looking Cincom web site.
In my opinion it would be very bad for Squeak to be seen as a competitor to the commercial systems, and very good for Squeak if the commercial systems grow in credibility thanks to the positive contributions of the Squeak community.
