In my opinion, Smalltalk is prime example of language that is desperately missing macros. Most of Smalltalk code is boilerplate that is automatically generated by IDE, replacing this automatic generation with macros seems like natural thing to do. Smalltalk community seems to prefer to build complex tools to automatically generate and modify code in it's textual form, which I think is generally solving the wrong problem.
