http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general/162600/focus=162659
shows a similar discussion. Especially my reply in that thread is still 
valid.

One addition:
  I have legacy software in Squeak (mainly 3.8) part of which I could 
easily (no change?) port to 4.2 because it benefited from Cog. This is a 
good reason to start new projects in Squeak because I feel confident 
that if I ever need to port them to a future version it will be painless.

Cheers

Herbert
