I ran across this while searching on ieeexplore for articles on smalltalk
- it's an old article, but the author's comments amazingly mirror my own

accessible might want to give it a read (or re-read, as the case may be):

J. Nielsen and J.T. Richards, "The Experience of Learning and Using
Smalltalk," IEEE Software, May 1989, pp. 73-77.
