Sorry, if I came off as too negative! For me it was just the initial perception I got. E.g. I only realized that the books were free after you told me.

I did download and tried Pharo because I was intrigued by it from another person, if I just were to land on the website from some random link, I likely wouldn't have. I think there could be some small changes in wording and presentation that would get a long way for people without any prior knowledge of the language.
