Can anybody comment meaningfully on these development systems? The

In The Beginning, there was Xerox. And SmallTalk. And it was good.
Brian Cox saideth, let us reimplement SmallTalk in a pre-processor for
industry-standard toolchains, and It was called Objective-C... thusly.
And then the Lord saideth, Pascal did sucketh so, let us now use
Objective-C for our NeXT creation. And there was much rejoicing, even
when this creation was running in emulation on just lowly Sun
workstations.
Alas in a short time faith in the Lord's creation was flagging, but the
Sun Oak giants of the day were still in trembling in its presence, and
decided to take the fruits of NeXT for their own gain, and modelled
their product largely on NeXTSTEP, calling it Java.
The Satan of Windows, seeing the defections among his minions the Oak
giants were causing in his seven circles of hell, decided he must eject
Java from his dominions. C#, .net, and managed environments were
thusly ordered to be created as substitutes.
And the minions had their Java taken away, and told to use .net.
Exclusively.
From here, the history becomes apocryphal, but some commentators noted
the return of the reborn NeXTSTEP to the circles of Windows Hell,
providing the goodness of Objective-C and AppKit to everyone with a
sufficiently powerful Windows machine. Alas, whether the Lord
countenanced this return has yet to to determined from the histories.
