I worked for 3 years using VisualAge and GemStone/S.
As Allen says in the article, Squeak was a special case: based on Smalltalk-80 is oriented to have an environment to support the experimentation with e-toys (a platform for learning).
Other Smalltalks were different. VisualAge supports native UIs, and you have tools to produce the final product. The usual process is to create a reduced image based on modules that you load from the version control system (Envy in the case of VisualAge). Then you package an EXE that uses your image.
