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.
