GNU Smalltalk almost never posts on this list. It's been years. I have no idea what they've been up to. I suppose if I read the Planet Squeak blog I might know. The only thing I can remember about GNU Smalltalk is one of the developers saying on Squeak-dev that he felt that GNU was maligned by other Smalltalks. And that was years ago.
Why do you you make a case for GNU Smalltalk here on Squeak-dev? And then tell the people at GNU Smalltalk to post news about themselves here on a regular basis? I'm sure something could come up that I could use for The Weekly Squeak blog.
I don't know anything about GNU Smalltalk. If they posted here, I hardly think it would be unwelcome. But I don't feel it's my responsibility to find out what they're up to, either.
Why do you use GNU Smalltalk?

For what it's worth, I'd welcome hearing about GNU Smalltalk here.

GNU Smalltalk is in its own little world, it seems to me. I think it's kind of cool, but it's not that accessible (it can take a while to find Windows binaries, it's not obvious how to start and stop it, or deploy it, e.g.). Seems like it could be a great start for a minimal Smalltalk implementation.
