Well I just can confirmm that for me. I can not judge if it's dead but it's at least much less interesting then two years or so ago. You cannot ask any comparison questions any more. You can not ask questions about maintainability any more, because that will get closed. No Stackoverfow is not the answer. Maybe a kind of Forum would be nice to have. At least I'm not aware of any related to Smalltalk, but I may be wrong of course. Regards Friedrich
