- politics
- venture capitalists
- Java has good and better widgets so difficult to fight
- problem with management in the project (not from the programmers)

Now if we would all join effort to push a decent looking open-source smalltalk

and good properties (nice xxx framweorks, small image, C integration, better

our projects would get a chance not to be rewritten in Java.
