Did your "Smalltalk Code Critic" tell you that or just another one of your biased opinions? Squeak is a fantastic media authoring environment -- even old versions from years past embarass programs like, say, PowerPoint. It's text-handling is fantastic -- remember the release image delivered with text on the desktop flowing out one text box, following along a loop-de-loop spline and into another text box? What other programs that can do that today in 2012..?
In the spirit of Squeak, the original developers delivered a lot of power with little code. But yes, it's a complex domain and so reviewing the code in one afternoon may not meet your "aesthetic eye."
