Relative to what I'd like to see, there are indeed a lot of bugs in
Squeak. While I don't want to take anything away from the thrust of
Ralph's plan, I'd like the record to show that that there is not
necessarily consensus that Squeak is buggy relative to other platforms -
commercial or otherwise.
For example, I spend far too much time on the following technology stack:
A financial application costing tens of $M
and responsible for processing several $B each year.
PeopleSoft
Oracle
Windows
Relative to that, Squeak is of absolute perfect quality.
Cheers,
-Howard
