Will could be a push or wishful thinking so I agree on that it will not help directly. Maybe is time to watch Merchants of Cool ? https://archive.org/details/PbsFrontlineMerchantsOfCool It has everything to do with convenience and making teens fell "super powers" If enhancing the product's usability is under your control, then you might be able to manufacture some cool And thatâs a question that really contributes to the question Unless you give a shit about UX/UI to the next generation of newcomers of course sebastian o/ On Feb 12, 2014, at 4:45 PM, Esteban A.

too bad, this is not forum, where you can stick certain topics on top.. because this one reoccurring on a regular basis and contributes nothing to answering the question :)
but let me try to answer
Why Smalltalk is not popular?
because it's not.
This time I agree with Igor "extremely literal" answer.
Popularity is like "being cool", a social consequence out of your control (a fad most of the times), you can't "turn cool" with pure will.
But there are some attributes that might put you in the "cool technology" list some day: * Simplicity * Reliability * Performance * Modernicity * Interoperability * Ease of use
Among others.
I think that if you focus in what you do, do it the best you can, get feedback from "foreigners" and work hard, ceteris paribus, the success is inevitable.
