Some more potential downsides from a Squeak point of view.
1. QNX is _not_ Unix. It has a POSIX-like interface available, though. And
their shell is Unix-like.
2. There is no Squeak that I know of for QNX (though the Photon microGUI
might be a nice target for Squeak)
3. Squeak's touch screen support is, to put it mildly, lacking. Window and
pane resizing, especially, are broken because they rely on mouse-over
notification.
