Not perfect. Not even close. Just look at the hacks introduced in
Seaside2.7a1-avi.10 because blocks in Squeak suck.

Do you know how many times I got bitten (doing commercial web
applications) because I forgot to add a #fixTemps? It can tell you one
thing, if Java 1.7 will get closures, it will not require #fixTemps.

Then there are all these VM horror stories. And don't get me started
on persistence, or XML, or SOAP, or concurrency, or ...  or IO in
general, urls, ... or browsers
