We consider Squeak to be a positive good, both for the Smalltalk
community and for Cincom's growth. We have more than one customer
that started with Squeak, and then migrated to our product - mostly
out of a desire to have ready access to support.
Thus far, there's been a very good interchange of ideas and code
between Squeak and Cincom's VisualWorks, and I think that helps everyone.
