I've not used Squeak as the interface just looks too much like a toy for me
to get my head around. I've used both Dolphin and Cincom VisualWorks though,
and both are very good products. With regards to web work Seaside is the way
to go here - get all the benefits of RoR but with a VM that is ~30 years old
and so very mature.
