I was quite disappointed too, as it actually wants to use Carbon
instead of Cocoa for building gui apps, and as the programming tools
are rather poor at the moment. Using Squeak + WxSqueak is probably
better.. (the CocoaBridge could have been even better, closer to what
I'd like, but it has problems)

I'd like a really well integrated Smalltalk environment for
Cocoa/GNUstep though :-)

how is your Smalltalk integrated in the runtime going by the way ?

Cheers,
