OK, So it is the 'ergonomics' of the tool that makes you feel it is years 
ahead...

Usability is a very difficult thing to measure and/or evaluate.

I was not talking about feature completeness, I was more talking about
the usability of the editor and how the different tools integrate. It
is impressive that you see the renaming happening live in Eclipse
while you type a new class/variable/method name.

I don't know of a single refactoring in Eclipse that is not available
in Smalltalk, of course excluding some of the refactorings that mangle
with types, packages or inner-class  and that do not make sense in the
context of Smalltalk. Furthermore the Smalltalk refactoring engine
provides an universal code transformation engine that allows one to
script new transformations (refactorings) within seconds. This is
something that I have not yet seen in any other language with that
sophistication.
