In fact, I'm looking for someone to tackle essay Topic #1. Care to try?
I'm sorry. I'd love to. But I don't have the time. If I offered I would only fail and disappoint you. Forgive me. When time allows I will try and commit to writing something. Until then I must focus. You've made Smalltalk Revlution/Smalltalk Renaissance your focus. Mine is on the VM. More power to all of us! Eliot Miranda-2 wrote

I welcome your comments. It's not too late to edit the piece.
Instead of "Second, Smalltalk is also a programming environment or IDE", I would say "Second, Smalltalk is also a live programming environment with it's own integrated and extensible IDE".
Instead of "With the integrated debugger, you are endowed with great power to prototype your application." I would say "The integrated debugger is exceptionally powerful. Not only can you inspect the execution state, edit and continue, you can also define new classes and methods, in the context of a live application you are developing. You can actually program in the debugger. Start by defining just a test and continue from there."
Instead of just "Class browser, code editor, object inspector, debugger, and workspace are an integrated whole.". I would add "All these tools, even the compiler and the class system itself, are implemented in Smalltalk. You can extend the tools to fit the way that you work, and because the system is live, you can do so while you're programming. It really is the ultimate tailorable programing system."
HTH
Thanks.
