Same. My biggest hesitation is lack of cloud deployment support. At least for web apps.
If you are capable of deploying web applications, for any other technology stack, there is really no issue in doing the same for Pharo. Sven
For desktop apps, I have been holding off building any UI because of the brik blok spec spec2 churn.

Thanks for participating in the poll.
It isn't plug and play. For instance, I can pick PHP on an AWS elastic beanstalk menu, set up a couple shell scripts, and deploy PHP with 'eb deploy' out of my local git repo. Easy. It is possible to deploy the stuff but to build infrastructure and deployment scripts for a pharo seaside app, it is a lot more DIY work. I don't always have time to do that. I can get a box up,, sure. Getting a fleet up with deployment automation and autoscaling is another can of worms.
