I Strongly recommend evaluating PocketST. It is an open development environment, has a great user community and is constantly evolving. If you don't like something about it you can either change it yourself or get one of us to help. It is fully OO and dynamically bound. No types and defines. check it out. www.pocketsmalltalk.com If you are in the NY area I am doing a free tutorial on developing database apps towards the end of June.
