That was my personal impression as a trained engineer based on relevant experience, not a condemnation; I on the other hand find it annoying when some people glorify Smalltalk in retroperspective and attribute to it any great qualities without evidence and against better knowledge; nevertheless, the technology is impressive in a historical context and worth studying (but I still wouldn't use it for industrial projects anymore and would also not like to tempt other people).
