I used SmallTalk for a while and loved it but when I moved on to more traditional programming I never missed the SmallTalk days. I did learn a lot of stuff that I applied later on, though. Exact same experience with Lisp.

In terms of OO it is kinda awesome, with its class hierarchy and that everything is an object, even classes.

But the whole IDE-entanglement was awful.

I have the feeling, that this is a big problem, we have in many places today. You can't always have syntax A in system B and programm with IDE C. Often you have to use what is available...
