All that, plus the attitude problems coming out of ParcPlace when it came to support for customers, the far too late delivery of needed collaboration tools and the relentless innovation around languages while the Smalltalkers thought they had an unassailable lead. I dabbled in a little VisualWorks recently and it was fun but it's best if the past is left there sometimes. I did enjoy my time with VisualWorks back in the 1990s but .NET is much more productive whether as a solo developer or in a team.
