In a way I am but only because you made a major point of a company not linking to or mentioning Squeak.org because of a) the general look of the site and b) the content on the site. While a) might be fixable for most of the audience b) certainly isn't.
Andreas,
I agree with you in general, but I don't think that (b) isn't fixable
- or at least, I would claim that it currently needs fixing. Look at
the very first sentence on the current squeak.org: "With the Squeak programming system, we have made some delightful and powerful educational applets. " For someone coming to Squeak looking to use it for business, that will be the first sentence and quite possibly the last they read - not because there's anything wrong with educational applets (there's everything right with them, in fact), but because that person will assume that this tool is not aimed at them and go elsewhere.
I agree.
[about old part referring 2000 year] we need to fix this if we're going to have any credibility.
Also, www.squeak.org is too verbose in the home page: main links are few, and the head logo (http://www.squeak.org/images/welcome.gif) is too big for a 800x600 pixel screen.
