I'd have to agree. I have never wanted to write a program that would run inside a Smalltalk environment. I have never wanted to use a Smalltalk environment --- every time I've tried one I end up ragequitting after a few minutes because of the ghastly nested windowing system.
And I love Smalltalk, as a language. I want to write programs in it, and use it more, and get stuff done in it, but I'll be damned if I'll fight Squeak's windowing system and bizarre VCS.
Right now the only way I have to run Smalltalk is via Gnu Smalltalk, which is a bit old and cranky and not very fast. This makes me very sad.
(I wonder if I could translate Smalltalk source in to Lua and push it through LuaJIT...)
