If Smalltalk is so good, why is not widely known ?
The real answer: It's an invalid question because it presupposes the invalid assumption that quality -> wide acceptance. Of course, there are an infinite number of concrete "reasons", but ultimately it's that "human progress" that happens in a straight line over time is an illusion. We are not immune to the chaos of the universe. Ideas (as systems interacting with all the systems of their environment, and the environments of those environments...) do not take off, or not, based on quality, but on the sum of the forces acting on them, which are mostly beyond our understanding or control.

Which famous/big project is made with Smalltalk ?
